Can I run '14 550i wheels on my '06 Z4?

This may have been discussed but I can't find it. Can I run my 2014 BMW 550i wheels on the 2006 Z4? They are 19x8.5 ET33 and 19x9 ET44. Tires are 245/40 and 275/35. I guessing too big. I put M5 wheels on the 550 so I've got them sitting around and figure they would look a lot better than the little 17" on it now.

You shouldn't have any issue running those specs
We typically recommend (F) 8.5 ET35 (R) 9.5 ET45 (no rubbing issues/ no modification). We do, however, usually run 245/35/19 | 275/30/19.

I'm guessing I was given the wrong spec's because I put on the fronts and the rim stuck out of the fender. Even if I changed the tires the wheels wouldn't work. So your picture is (F) 8.5 ET35 (R) 9.5 ET45 with 245/35/19 | 275/30/19? Is it dropped or stock height? And no rubbing, that looks great

Z4 and Z4M have different wheel offset tolerances. For the non-M, you really need +ET40 at the front. You cannot fit a 245/40/18 tire without rubbing.

You actually might be able to get away with that with some camber. Could always try and see what happens. It would be the fender that rubbed, not the strut.
