On a lot of wheels they are. But my question was what is a safe offset range to run. You can run many different offset on a car depending on the look you are going for.

Here are the spec on my 18 VMR 710 wheels with no spacers.
They fit very nice and flush as they are and 8.5 Front and 9.5 rear VS my 8.0 F and 8.5 Rear OEM New VMR V710 Shoes I finally got my new VMR V710 Wheels for the Z. I went with Hyper Silver. I stayed with 18" wheels, which I have now, for a number of reasons: 1. As my RFT Bridgestones only had 2200 miles on them (and what the budget allowed) I decided to re-use my tires to ware them out. As well, I was able to reuse my perfect condition TPMS and BMW Center Caps. 2. For comfort levels I wanted to stay with 18's. 3. My next mod will be an H and R spring drop which will lower my NON sport suspension by 1.2 inches in both the F and R. Wanting to make sure that I had a quality company un-mount and re-mount and balnace the tires/wheels, I asked VMR for a mounting recommendation. They told me to find a company that owns a Hunter Road Force GSP9700 machine. This is a NO Touch the RIM ( lack of a better description) for un- mounting and re-mounting tires on performance (or any) rims. Lucky for me, there was a local guy who only works on Bimmers, MB , Porsche etc cars that had this machine. I hate to let any one work on the car, BUT was forced to for this. They did a great job BUT as always they did scratch the lug holes on 2 wheels. I already bought the touch up paint. Whatta ya gonna do. To get the best fit W/O spacers, which I did not want, but wanting to get the wheels to fit as close as possible to being flush to the fender, VMR recommeded the following F and R sizes: Front 18 x 8.5 35 Offset 5 x120 bolt pattern 72.6 Hub OEM fit Rear 18 x 9.5 33 Offset 5 x120 bolt pattern 72.6 Hub OEM fit I love the new look.

Thanks for the info. The TSW wheels I am looking at are 18x8.5 et35 front and 18x9.5 et39 rear. That is the only option for the rear fitment. How do you think it would look?

Sounds like you may be considering tsw's nurburgring wheels or something similar.
At any rate that's what I run with no issues. http://e89.zpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1010218 |
