Show me your CSL reps.

[z4pilot]

Struggling to think of a better stanced Si E85 or E86 with 19inch CSL reps on Eibach's than our own Z4pilots
The fronts are always going to be a squeeze at 8.5s & 40ish offset though

They look ace but the fact he's added a mudflap halfway up the rear quarter tells a story...

No, not really, the arch lips are only really there as an aesthetic add-on. They're not needed, but the 9.5 width wheel, et33 does push them out to what I consider to be the furthest point. They don't extend beyond the arch line, catch or rub, but I was looking to create an OEM+ look and reasoned that had BMW fitted wheels this size as standard, they might have gone for the sort of solution to meeting EU regs that other manufacturers had employed. Audi, with the TT Sport, Lotus with the Elise 190 and Jaguar with the XK8-R all fitted arch lips, so I thought I'd try some.

Pictured without the arch extensions;


If you end up choosing 18 inch wheels, my personal opinion is that there are better looking wheels than CSL reps - the whole point of the CSL look is the rear dish and you won't get it with 18's and higher offset numbers. Try looking at Jamie_Z4's posts - he's had more wheels on his coupe than most have had hot dinners. BBS-CH's look good in 18's and don't appear to be undersized.

Here you go. My old 3.0si with 19inch reps and lowered on eibach's

[Swiftly]

Ooh, they look good. Don't suppose you know the rim widths and offsets do you?

Offsets are 26 rear / 34 front

You sure about those numbers Nick The rears don't sit in the arch like et26 ?

Haven't checked them Andy, took the info from your advert when you sold them viewtopic.php?f=7&t=56823

They look great. It was before you fitted your aero side skirts as well. Really liked your car at the weekend. Do you still have them or are they your winter set?

Thanks
Yeah I still have them, just used as my winter set

That looks great. Same as mine, lowered on Eibachs.

Do you know what offset they were? Tyre sizes?

Was there any rub?

Must assume they're correct then I would have guessed at around 40/45 from the pics though . Whatever they look he part

They were 8.5 front, 9.5 rear et40 all round. Front tyres were 235/35/19 rears 265/30/19. No rubbing on the rears but the fronts had worn holes in the arch liners. If i'd kept the car i was planning to drop down to 225/35 on the front and 255/30 on the rears. Interestingly seemed to get less rub after lowering.

Slightly stiffer springs possibly ?

[Jollyjoiner]

Mine are 18's 8.5" front 9.5" rear with an et35

[LostBoy_84]

Mine are 18's 8.5" front 9.5" rear with an et35

Those aren't CSL reps are they? Look more like 1M reps

[KERMIT1970]

I like them had them on 3 of my old cars & going to buy a set of winters for the m4 great looking wheels

I think they look more like the cls than the 1m but I know where your coming from
