New wheels possible rubbing/fit

Post by edinburghjon » Thu Sep 07, 2017 4:39 pm

Hello I;m looking at changing my 108's for these AG M359 http://www.bmautosport.co.uk/showroom/p ... 134_46_297

My 07 Z4C has KW coilovers. I'm going to swap my tires, the garage recons they will fit although the front tire will be slightly stretched. The new wheels are 18 8.5 et35 front & 18 9.5et33 back.

Any advice or anybody running these wheels. Thanks

Just be wary on front tyre choice as in make & size , you need to be as keen as poss otherwise you will get some chaffing on compression id say

The front tires are 225/40, I think that will be stretched a wee bit on the new rims. There's a 18mm poke on the front & 30mm on the back with the new rims
