FS Pre facelift rear lights

Have got apair of rear light units which I off my 1997 2.8 Z3 convertible when I changed them for smoked ones. They are in good condition and do not come with bulbs or holders. Looking for £40 for the pair plus postage (unless you can collect them) http://i959.photobucket.com/albums/ae71/Z3DAVE/Z3RE...

The PCD for a Z3 is 5x120. I've never seen it expressed as 120.6 before. I would want to know what the bore is on these wheels. This is the diameter of the centre hole. It should be 72.6 for a Z3. Any smaller and it's a no go. If it is 74.1 you can get spiggot rings to adjust the size of the hole. T...

Yes it does matter because you will change the rolling radius quite considerably making the speedometer and mileometer inaccurate.

If you are running on standard M wheels the rears are 9''.
I personally would not run on anything wider than a 265 on that wheel width.
I can't really see any benefit going wider than 255 but hey it's up to you :)

If you are talking about genuine Bmw style 166 wheels the answer is no. With a front offset of 12 they would protrude by about 40mm more than your current wheels.
Secondly the centre bore is too big on 5 series wheels and you would need spigot rings.
