Does anyone know which space saver wheel I will need for my Z4 3.0si coupe on 18" Star Spokes? I was under the impression the 125x80xR17 from the e46 would fit, but I have been reading some conflicting info that says maybe the offset of this will be wrong and it will bind to the brakes and that I need one that sits farther off eg the one from an e90? Anyone have any info or actually tried fitting one?
Cheers,
Al.

Re: Which space saver?
A few of us on here use the E46 space saver wheels. For the Si you will need a 17" wheel to clear the brakes. I have to confess I have never tried mine on the hub, but I think CJ or Daveg have, with the same setup. I believe A11y (could be wrong) has tested his 16" space saver on his car - the wheel is smaller but the principal of the offset would be the same.
