S54 wheels on a e86/85

[BeemerMad]

Can it be done, is the offset correct and any pictures?

 

[Stuart Truman]

Do you mean 224's from an M?

 

[BeemerMad]

No the previous m roadster s54 model wide 5 spoke wheels although i think they are 17s for some reason

 

[BeemerMad]

They 7.5 x 17 front and 9.0 x 17 rear

 

[Stuart Truman]

From a Z3? The Z4 M coupe and roadster both had 224 as the standard wheel.

 

[StevenH72]

No idea what you mean. What car z3 or 4?

 

[Z4M-2006]

You mean Roadstars from the late Z3M ?

I dare say they would go on,but being 17" and having a deep dish they would like tiny on a Z4

S54 is an engine designation, not a car designation.

It was used in both the later e36 Z3M and all the Z4Ms.

As you mention '5 spoke' and '17"', I assume you're referring to this wheel from the Z3M (Style 40)...

Offset info can be found here for you to compare with your current config.

Yes s54 model. It was a z3 but never classed as a z3 m like the z4 m. It was classed as the mroadster and mcoupe.

I take it nobody has done it then lol!

They won't fit an ///M as the brakes are too big.

They won't fit an ///M as the brakes are too big.

Correct as those wheels won't clear the front brakes on the E85/86 M roadster or M coupe.

What about a non M?

Yes s54 model. It was a z3 but never classed as a z3 m like the z4 m. It was classed as the mroadster and mcoupe.

Not sure they were ever 'officially' called that.

The e36 ones were officially the Z3 M Roadster and Z3 M Coupe, as the e85/86 models are the Z4 M Roadster and Z4 M Coupe respectively.

However, as both models are referred to as an M Roadster and M Coupe, when anyone tells me they want/have/love the M Roadster/M Coupe, I have to ask them which...the Z3 or Z4.

What about a non M?

Front wheels might fit...
Rear wheels have a large offset difference and may not fit...

All of my official documents from BMW and my title simply states 2007 BMW M Roadster. There is no mention of Z4 anywhere...

It's a bit haphazard I guess, as both the BMW website, and the Owner's Manual show the Z4 bit...

 

[BeemerMad]

Hmmm oh well. Looks like they wont fit then and i have opened a can of worms about the z3 z4 M cars :lol:
