I own a 6/09 Z4 35i with unfortunately "296" and RFT's
Yes!!! both rear tires cracked several times (about 7 on each rear wheel) and have premature tire wear on the inside... Fortunately I have a great machine shop that does a great job and I also own a second car X6 35i to continue a normal life.
Now I feel like "Driving Miss Daisy"" when I go out on my Z4 due to the frequent cracked rear wheels and this is really "Driving Me Crazy" because I want to drive taking it to the reasonable limits of adhesion on a twisty road. Eventually I am planning to tune the engine with Burger JV3 but I need to deal with the wheel issues first.
I was thinking of the BMW OEM “313” tires 18” from the 1 Series (to get more sidewall) or 19” from the 35is with unfortunately RFT’s because I want to get home after a long night even with a flat tire?
I need all the help I can get from you guys!!
Are “313” wheels forged?
Will the 18” from the 1 series fit or should I go with the 19” ?
I like aftermarket but I will keep it OEM.
Thanks
Eric
