z3-m..wheel fitment et 15(front)

[pacey]

Hi i need advice..

Can i put this...
Front 8.5x17 et15
Rear 10x17 et18

I know this is not original for z3...

The problem is on front?
What tyre dimension i should put?

[Jonttt]

Front offset is too low IMHO

No doubt some will say they will fit but they will poke from the arch and you will need lots of tyre stretch which to me just looks stupid.

Those wheels are 5 series offset so you have hit the classic dilemma for a Z3m in that you need a mixed set of 3 series fronts and 5 series rears.

Replacement wheels for the z3m is a pita....

Lowest I would go on the front is 30et original is 42et.

Rears you can always use spacers.

There are a few sets of after market wheels out there that would work but not many...

Try this site as a way of working out if they will fit. I think they will be too far out from the arches unless you put narrow tyres on and stretch them.

If the car is stock then they won't fit. But if you have lowered it AND swapped the top mounts left to right you can get away with it - there is still some poke though.

I run 8.5J ET13 on the front of mine with a 215/40 tyre and there is only small amount of poke.

Rondell 0021 8.5x17 ET13(F), 10x17 ET5(R) (ET15 with a 10mm spacer on the rear).
215/40/17 & 245/35/17 (Hankook EVO V12)







Obviously bear in mind these are 17s, 18s might not work. But with the 21s you can get the 18 front off a 3-series and possible run that on the front, will be tight though at 9J. I do run a 9x17 ET35 (ET45 with 10mm spacer) on the front on track (Rondell 21 wheel). This just clears the strut and does not poke on my car, in fact it's not even flush!

Iv got a set of 21s for the front and going to be after a set of rears in the new year ...anybody found s reliable source for these wheels?
