Would these wheels fit?

[Sterner Regnix]

As in title.

I currently have 18" non staggered CSL reps on my car and don't love them. I've always liked the 313 style wheels.

Would these fit?

19x8 ET 35 & 19x9 ET 35

I have an 06 3.0SI. Think my car has offset of 47 both F & R?

Rears will fit
About front - I've asked the same question few days ago.. so I dont know yet

 

[Sterner Regnix]

The seller says "Yes they will fit your car perfect, with no spacers needed or rubbing issues."

I'm very tempted as I think they'll look swheet.

What do you reckon?

 

[McKoval]

They look good, but I like the 224 M's the most
or in 19" the csl's

what's the colour of yours Z?

 

[Sterner Regnix]

Are they what you have? They do look good.

19's won't look a bit too chavie/gittish ???

 

[McKoval]

I think 19" will look great, but I wouldnt like to drive with them
for polish bad roads 18" is the most.. even a little bit too much

and yes, I have 18" type 224 from z4m (in my signature the rears are still 8" wide, nowadays its proper z4m setup with 8" on front and 9" on the rear)

Fronts should fit if you keep the tyre profile low, and not too wide. 225/35 19s (40 profile would prob be ok too) should do the trick

hmm I had planned 225x40 & 255x35 profile tyres.

I'll have a think on that as the ride on 18's isnt actually too harsh. Dont want to fluf it up. But it's good to know that they can be made to work

So opinions on these wheels on a Z4??

[McKoval]

you want them to be 18" or 19"?

225/40 and 255/35 are ok for 18" and too high for 19"

If it helps with your calcs, the Alpina versions of the Z4 have tyre/wheel combinations
- front: 8.5' x 19', 235/35ZR19 and
- rears: 9.5' x 19', 265/30ZR19
with Michelin Pilot Sport tyres as standard

 

[Sterner Regnix]

Ah that's interesting.

Would it co k up the ride a little. It or a whole lot?

 

[Dav the wheel nut]

I've got 8.5x19 offset 35 front, 9.5x19 offset 35 rears and they fit perfectly
I have 225/35/19 front and 265/30/19 rears with no issues.
These sizes ensure the rolling radius remains similar to the original wheels.
If you go for non runflat tyres the ride is improved immeasurably.

Yep, my last car was an e92. First thing to get changed was the tyres. Ride was many times better.

This car came with some 18" black CSL reps and Falken non RFT's.

They ride well but I'm not sure they're the best tyres and I don't know why the previous owner cut a fairly small corner and ended up with non staggered wheels. It just drives me a little bit nuts as BMW's should have staggered wheels!

 

[Sterner Regnix]

The vendor has come back to me and recommended I use 225x40 & 255x35.

I know that the speedo probably wouldn't read quite right but would the ride be much better? That is assuming that he's right and there was no issues with rubbing?

 

[Sterner Regnix]

Just done some quick and dirty maths.

40 & 35's instead of 35 & 30's grow grow the wheel diagemters front and rear by over 20mm. Sounds like quite a lot actually. Think I'll be going with the lower profiles.

So do you folks think they look any good?
