Z4M wheels on "plain" Z4?

Before I wade in and buy a set of wheels I don't strictly need, can someone confirm that these will fit?

As far as I can see, they will. Standard tyre sizes and suspension (for now)

Thanks
 
Watch out if they come with tyres as 'plain' and M have different profiles - offset and rear wheel width different too so rears pushed outwards on rear arch.
 
i think the M wheels are the worse part of the car, i think they are boring, thats just my opinion though, many others luv um
 
I've got a set fitted to my car and have no problems with the wheels but you do need to have the correct profile tyres or they will rub.
 
Buy regular Z4 tyres with Z4M wheels on a non-M car. Was fine with my old 3.0 for over 2 years. Your tyre fitter might comment on them being a bit tight, but it was fine for me across 2/3 sets of tyres. No rubbing that way.

+ 1 - the slightly narrower 255/35 will help....
 
Thanks for the info gents, I wouldn't have thought about swapping the tyres. I knew saying "plain" would get someone going. Lucky I didn't mention the lack of a "proper" roof!
 
z4m has
front: 8x18 et 42 wheels and 225/45/18 tires
back: 9x18 et 35 wheels and 255/40/18 tires

z4 in sport version has
front: 8x18 et 45 and 225/40/18 tires
back: 8,5x18 dont remember the ET, but somewhere around 40 and 255/35/18 tires

If you put z4m wheeels (type 224) to non-M z4 and use tuires from z4 sport 225/40 and 255/35 tires it'll fit like a glove
I have this combination - offset of the back wheels looks stuning and,, if you have correct vcamber settings, nothing will rub :thumbsup:
