Coupe wheel fitment questions / Pics added

Post by A5 VRX » Thu Jun 22, 2017 10:10 am

So in the eventuality of me getting a Z4 Coupe I've had some wheels sat here for a while that we're going to go on a e92 Coupe. I'm hoping that they will fit but have no idea to be fair. Specs are

Front 9" ET35 - 19" alloys
Rear 10" ET38 - 19" alloys
72.6 Centre bore

Any help or people running these specs any help appreciated! Car will be going lower also

rear should be fine, front will be tight.. you might need a 215 section tyre to get it working.

Christ 10" rears? Good luck, my 224s are absolutely flush at the rear.... The E92 alloys will poke out a fair bit....!

Depends on the offset as well as the width, might get them in. Offset could be quiet friendly for the car giving that half inch back and being able to run them. The wheels are not off an e92 (aftermarket) but were meant to be going on one as that's the car I had in mind when I got offered the wheels

Yeah, but even then at 9" I'm not sure.. you could try but 9" wheel with 215 will be stretched to dangerous levels. I'd say rear would be fine with a 255/265 rubber as you've got more space to play with but fronts are always an issue.

not sure you'll shoehorn those in there without negative camber and rolling a fender, tried some apex arc8 18x9.5 ET35 on my rears and they protruded :( .
I'm no wheel/tyre guru though

As above ,
Whether dropped or not i really doubt you could stretch rubber enough on a 9j et 35 front to avoid it catching so its either modify arch liner or forget it :cry:

Thank you guys, sounds like to much effort. Well I still need wheels so the only other option are 19" CSL reps...they look so good on a Coupe. What widths should I be looking for on a set?

8.5" front and 9.5" rear max ideally around et40 front and et38 rear.

225 rubber up front or if you want to be 100% sure then 215(some tyres in 225 are a bit bulkier) and 255 rear.

Atomic CSL from cmwheels :) or Riva DTM.

Mention the forum with CM you should get free p&p plus the Rivas around et38 can be got in 8j fronts so i would go for those with a 215 35 tyre & you will be safe even if the car is on Eibachs

Yep fronts are way off, rears could work but no reason to make them if the front won't fit

Well I ordered some CSL Reps today 8.5 front and 9.5 rear et 38 & 40 from CMWheels......just hope they fit as I am second guessing myself now and I'm a little worried! Was really interested in the LM's as well but with our weather and owning a genuine set before they can be hard work to keep on top of....

To be honest I'm not sure why I didn't go for the Rivas, I just thought the wider ones might look better
