Lokking at getting new wheels for the zed but I have no idea what im looking at when it comes to wheel offsets, what will look good and also what tyres would suit the rims best. The ones I like are
Front – 19×8.5 ET38
Rear – 19×9.5 ET27
Could anyone chime in and tell me if these would be fine? :roll:
Any feedback is appreciated!

They will fit a M fine but the rears might be a bit much for Si / Se E85/86 , depends how much poke you want but they would be virtually out of the arch so a slightly rolled tyre might be needed

Would they stick out more than the standard MV2's with 20mm spacers? Thats what i have just now and i'd say thats probably as far out as I'd like to go, what would be the max offset for these cars?
 
Theres another set i quite like,
Front – 19×8.5 ET38
Rear – 19×9.5 ET40

They say theyre suited to a standard Z4 :?

Or Riva DTM
Front – 19 x 8 ET34
Rear – 19 x 9 ET37
 
Bear in mind Mv2 rears are 8.5j & you're looking at 9j/9.5j
The Riva ones are the best numbers you will find to get the best stance. Just don't go over 225-35 on front & if lowered 215-35 is better

What tyre size would you recommend for the rears?

Ideally id be looking at 245 35 19 but others may disagree , you could go 255 30 but the other option of 265 30 is a bit much on a 9j rim & imo so would 255 35 so realistically it leaves you with that choice of 2
