Are they Cades Tora wheels, do you know the offset? Looks like you're lowered, any rubbing on the front? Standard 225/40/18 tyres?

Mine's a daily but that's not bad as an alternative.

Yeah they are cades tora, lowered on BC coilovers id say more than a 100mm but it is an SE.

Offset front 40 35 rear.

There was very slight rubbing at first on front with 225 45 18 tyres I hardened the damping and it has gone althought Im sure a large bump would still induce a scrape.

The rear clears easily have thought about spacing it out more but like the way it handles.

Thanks about the daily :)

Im hoping to make a bit of money on the z4 in the futures as its only done 50k bit shame its an SE,

Thanks for the info, I'm considering changing wheels and had issues with rubbing moderately lowered with a 235/40/18 tyre which is a smaller diameter than a 225/45/18. Still quite tempted by the Toras...

Cheers Gav,

Coilovers fit a treat, and from what I can tell from the ride are a bargain as well. Not sure what all the poison is about them

They're a fantastic bit of kit for the money, most issues people have are I think from being badly set up, I locktite the threads on the camber top mounts so they never rattled.
Nice to know a part of my car lives on
