19x10 Question
Hi Guys,
I'm new to the forum. I actually have a Deep Sea Blue/ Coral Red sDrive35is otw. I'm switching over from a E46 330i and have a wheels question. I know/ assume that the Z4s share similar fitment to a 3 series coupe. Anyways my question is what sizes fit best for the Z4, mainly 19x10 vs 19x11. I have a set of Linea Corsa LMs, 19x8.5 , 19x9.5 that I could switch over but i feel that they may be wide enough in the rear. Also when looking for wheels would it be safe to say that M3 fitment and options would be best for us? Thanks for your input and advise!! I've been searching all the Beemer forums with out any luck on solid stats... -Jake |

E89 shares the same fitment as E46 M3 and Z4M. I am running 19x10 and I feel that is is wide enough for our cars. There's no point in running too wide because you don't want to stretch your tires too much and rub over big bumps.
What are the specs of your wheels? You may be able to run them if the offset is right. Check the center bore as well. You may need center rings to fit them properly. |

Thanks for your help guys!!
I guess I can keep my fronts and just order the rears(10-12 week back order), or buy them used. Btw Hoa I saw your cars on another thread, great looking rides! I really liked the white Z4M. |

Otherwise go with a more conservative 19x8.5 front (ET around 25-30) and 19x10 rear (ET around 35-40).

8-10 mm too low both on front and rear. With this set up you will have the wheels sticking out of the fenders 1 cm front and 1 cm rear, approximately.
IMO is too aggressive, ugly. Even if, by a strong positive camber, on specific coilovers, you could correct a bit the rear.

im running similar setup and have no problem at all. it doesn't stick out
19X8.5 +17 245/35/19 19X10 +25 275/30/19 for your front, i would recommend running 235 and you will be just fine |

In my case (stock adaptive suspension) a 10 rim is perfectly flushing the rear fender with +35 while +25 is too low (i checked out the vertical aligment wheel -fender with a plastic plane). The same for the front: 8.5 is perfectly aligned to the fender with +25 and +17 would stick out a bit...

Hello again,
I've been researching wheels and I see 19x10 with offset of 22(e46 m3 fitment), and offset 37, see link http://www.wheeldude.com/wordpress/tag/19x8519x10 My question is why are both numbers so off? and also which set up would provide the deeper lip? I am assuming the 22 offset, but when you look at the photo of a 37 offset the lip looks as big, maybe even bigger... any thoughts? |

If the aim of the thread is to give infos to the forum about the "exact numbers of ET and widht" to have the wheels flushing the fenders i believe my numbers are more accurate than yours... Anyway, i'm not criticizing your car, it is just a clarification

I actually likes Hoa's set up. Its tasteful and is a good balance of class and race. I am a big fan of step-lips. They look amazing from all angles and have a classic look.
Im sure if he had the same size wheels with a concave face you would not think of them as sticking out. Anyways I guess you can say the purpose of this thread is to get 19x10's or an aggressive set up that gives a deep lip with out rubbing. Btw and comments about handling? Improved cornering, improved steering response? any change in speedo readings? I forget to mention I will be tracking the car once a month. ( I know the Linea Corse are not the best for the track but i like the look and just want to have fun, enjoy my car. Not break any records) |
