Will they fit?

Post by bimmerjoe » Tue Jun 30, 2015 1:29 pm

Hi all,

I am looking at some potential new wheels for my Zed.

I have a 2003 3.0L Z4 roadster.

The potential wheels are as below:

19x8.5 et20 - Front
19x10.5 et22 - Rear

Basically wondering will these fit without serious scraping?
Any help/suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thank you
Joe Appleyard

No they won't fit unless you want to look like Carlos Fandango

Out of curiosity what will fit without scraping issues? 18's or 19's

My car is lowered on eibachs at the minute but aim to go for coilovers later on.

Thanks in advance :thumbsup:

I am running on 19s 8.5 fronts and 9.5 rears et35 all round, lowered on eibachs with no rubbing issues.
Tyres are 225/35/19s front and 265/30/19s rear. If you go with 18s the tyre profile will be higher.

Thanks Dave
Imagine how much discussion would be redundant if this post popped up every time someone needed wheel sizing advice ?

This one should be a "Sticky"

Cheers
