I'd rather not as it hasn't been made public, but would easily purchase 3 and I mean 3 late model e86 Z4M coupe's. So once finished I'd like to think I could be on to a winner, not that I'd sell it. Never seem to sell any of my cars, just tuck them into my storage unit. Sad really!!!!!

I'm looking for advice on what wheel and tyre size to fit to my V10 conversion? I need to stay with 18" as there's way more track tyres available. Wondering what's the largest width front/rear without problems. Could also do with pics of members cars for a visual. Thanks,

Thank you for posting pics
The car is going to be a sleeper
To begin with it will, Luke. Bigger wheels and tyres and very large front brakes are to be fitted. Already have RS6 8pot calipers and 362mm discs. Wheels still not sure what to go for,CSL's would look awesome but couldn't justify the cost especially second hand. Z4m rear bumper casing being fitted shortly so the car can head of for its custom exhaust.
 
Stevie.w, APEX ARC-8 and EC-7 wheels look pretty good and relatively cheap. I also like are the Forgestar F14 for aftermarket stuff though i'm not sure of their pricing. BMW wheels i like are the MV3s, the E46 M3's stock 19" wheels (not sure of model number) and a few others here and there which i cant recall. Plenty of options out there.

Hi ga41. Do you know what sort of money's involved in a set of Apex, but they look like what I'm looking for. Are there any UK suppliers?

Would a set of OEM MV4,s ( 19inch staggered ) interest you ? All 4 decent tyres ? Wheels themselves have a few scuffs but a refurb can be arranged :roll:

So what are the sizes front and rear and off sets please?
 
mr wilks said:
Fronts are 8x19 Et 37 ( 225-35-19)
Rear 9x19 Et 39 255 30 19
Thanks for the offer, but I'd prefer to stick to 18's as the car rides better on them and way more tyres available for that size.
Cheers Steve.
