Style 230 ”Twist” 19” alloys
They do look good. I am for now at least still on rtf on 108s and was suffering badly with tramlining. Replaced the front rear lower control arm bushes and 4 wheel alignment and is much improved.

That's a shame.
Still I'm looking forward to trying my Z4 on something other than the standard Bridgestone RFTs.
Coupes because stunning!

Fronts ? Majority of the harsh ride comes from the rear & id be wary going 225 40 on the 8j et 37fronts for fear of rubbing , if you must go to a 40 then consider 215 40 19 or 225 35 should be fine if you choose your tyre with comfort in mind . The Uni Rs3s take some beating though i switched from Ps2 19s at weekend to Conti Sport 5 19s (same sizes) & noticed a improved ride staright away .
My 19’’ twists are away for refurbishment and, in another thread, @mr wilks you mention 245/30/19’s for the rear.
Is that because I’m thinking about dropping the E86 on Eibachs?
If I can get away with a deeper sidewall for even better ride comfort I’d be tempted to do so...

You sure i said 245 30 i wouldn't run any rear 19s on any Z on 30 profile , 245 35 on a 9j rim / 255 35 on a 9.5j would always be my choice , if you had to go to a 30 just to get it to fit then they are the wrong wheels / offsets for a ZTrue-Blue wrote: ↑Sat Sep 14, 2019 9:32 amHoly thread revival Batman....mr wilks wrote: ↑Mon Nov 20, 2017 7:25 pmI wouldn't risk spacers either front or back on those BBS Twist 19s . upping the rear to 255 35 19 will help fill the arch gap & "flush" them up visually .

My mistake, you did indeed say ‘35’ but suggested 245 instead of 255mr wilks wrote: ↑Sat Sep 14, 2019 10:53 amYou sure i said 245 30 i wouldn't run any rear 19s on any Z on 30 profile , 245 35 on a 9j rim / 255 35 on a 9.5j would always be my choice , if you had to go to a 30 just to get it to fit then they are the wrong wheels / offsets for a ZTrue-Blue wrote: ↑Sat Sep 14, 2019 9:32 amHoly thread revival Batman....mr wilks wrote: ↑Mon Nov 20, 2017 7:25 pm I wouldn't risk spacers either front or back on those BBS Twist 19s . upping the rear to 255 35 19 will help fill the arch gap & "flush" them up visually .

245 does cut down the tyre options though, as less manufacturers make a 245/35/19

I had these on my car with 255/35 rear and 225/40 fronts. Car is lowered and I had no rubbing.

Hi, yes I saw that you went back to 224’s ....was there any specific reason, were they a lot lighter even including tyres?
225/40/19 seem like quite a chunky tire for the front?
Any issues with rubbing lowered on 224’s ?

Went back to 224's as they suited the car better imo. Not had any rubbing with them at all. 10mm spacers on front too.
