X5 "Tigerclaws" (Style 63) on the Z4

Next step is getting these weighed and sourcing tires and spacers. After talking to Mikey, I decided on going with this setup:

F: 235/35/19
R: 265(perhaps 255)/30/19

And 3mm spacers in the front.
 
Not to my liking. Had those wheels on my X5 for a decade and they made that car. Just too bulky, but if you like them have them in your garage and then offset and weight is OK then go ahead.

One point on weight is it isn't just total weight but where the weight is. Of road wheel put the mass in the rim to assist with rugged use.
 
They will be my next wheels if i don't sell car by the end of the summer .And you will struggle with 235's at the front and 265's at the back .

@cj10jeeper, so you're suggesting that they might not be suitable due to their weight distribution? I like them that much though that I'll give them a shot underneath the Z4, and remove them if I dislike the impact they might have on its handling.

@Marius, They would look great underneath your car!

Yes - the weight being more towards the outer was my concern and the impact it would hav on braking accelerating and cornering. Added to the issues of offset it's just a compromised choice.

However I did say if you like them, have them then go with it...
