351M wheels on E89

Hi!!

Do you think 351M wheels will fit our z4? I have a good deal to buy these, but I don't know if I am going to have problems with fitting them...
Thank you!

They appear to be a half inch wider in the front. I don't fully understand the sizing process, but it looks like the issue will be off set / spacers for the rear wheels.

Thank you for your answer. I think spacers would not be a problem, right? I am not into these stuff...
Would you think 326M look better? They are very similar...I am making these questions because I have the oportunity of buying 351M at a good price. I have to decide if I buy them or not. What Do you think?

Thank you for your help...

My dealer here in Portugal says these wheels will not fit e89 properly. I don't know if he really searched for this info or if he is only saying it because he thinks so. Do you think I should abort this deal?

I really like the 326M's. The one's on the 5 series look a little "thicker" to me, but they look good also. I guess it comes down to what kind of deal your seeing on the 351's. Even if there's an issue getting them fitted, if the deal is good enough, you can always re-sell them.

Yes...I share that opinion with you. I prefer 326M also, but they are very rare and it is being difficult to find a good deal. That's why I was going for the 351...because they are similar. It is difficult to re-sell them here in Portugal. If I buy I have to be sure about it.
