Will M4 Wheels fit?
Hi guys. I am planning to get myself a birthday present and currently looking into BMW M4 style 513 wheels. The rim sizes are:
2x 9J x 18 ET 29 LK. 5x120 2x 10J x 18 ET 40 They come with PSS all round (275 width at the back). I was wondering is someone can please let me know if those would fit on the Z4 e89 35is with not rubbing/spacers etc? Thanks a lot in advance! |

for example 9.5 x 20f on 265/35/20 10.5x 20r on 295/30/20 I really do wonder what is the largest wheel/tire setup that the z4 can handle. |

Please post up pics if you end up getting these. I am curious how they look on the E89 chassis. |

Of course I will. The process however will take me a while. I will have to order the wheels from Germany (we do not get them in the UK, only 19"). The price is a bargain though. Then I will need to get the suitable tyres. I will definitely post some pictures.
I know most people like huge wheels which fill the gap, etc., but I always liked the smaller wheels with thicker tyres |

Also, I'm surprised to hear that the car can accommodate a 9.5" et 20 wheel in front and an 10.5" et 30 in the rear. That is far more aggressive than what I thought it would take. |

it's doable, not for fast driving tho. You propably might need small spacers in front to prevent wheels hitting shocks. And rear is really aggressive so you need some camber and 255 rubber so its gonna be stretched a lot.

Which wheels are you referring to? A 9" et 29 front wheel will not hit the strut on the inside. A 245 tire should be sufficiently stretched on that rim to clear without the need for a spacer, but this may depend on the brand/model of tire.

He is referring to the M6 20' wheels 9.5f/10.5r Which basically are close to impossible to put on without altering the car.

Well, it just occurred to me that I can take a 1 cm tick thing on my tires and rotate it on a lifter. That should test that thickness, and the actual tires thickness is documented by the vendor.
i have to say that if I can't do 245mm in the front then the whole master plan of going with a square setup falls down. 235mm in the back? Mumble. Not even cheaper. |

I noticed you are running 225/40/18 Front & 275/35/18 Rear. Is there a reason you aren't running 235 front and 265 rear? |

I wanted as wide as possible in the rear. The problem was Pirelli didn't make a 235 for the front in the tires I wanted. So instead of going with a different kind I just went with the 225 up front so I could have the 275 in the rear. Pirelli is odd with the sizes they make in certain tires. Some they have every size possible and others they seem to only make a few sizes. Also I did not want to run spacers so with the options they had for the tires I wanted it was either run the 225 up front or run the 255 up front with spacers.
