Questions about ZCP wheels on M Roadster?

mimsterzx7r · 06-30-2009, 06:31 AM

Couple of questions guys,

Will the factory TPMS or the Tire Rack TPMS fit on the ZCP wheel?

Anybody using spacers for the ZCP wheels on their M Roadster/Coupes? Some of you guys are using 5mm spacers for the fronts. Anybody try different spacers for the rears? Are they necessary? I still want an aggressive look but nothing too freakish.

BTW, I will be on my stock suspension for a while, but trying to decide on whether to get the Dinan springs vs H&R springs. My car is mainly a weekend toy but I plan on autox in the near future.

Will get pics up as soon as I get them on.

The factory TPMS will fit the wheel - I just moved mine over when I bought CSLs. I haven't done anything with spacers on either end. Mine are a half-inch wider up front, but our rears are the same size and they look fine as-is.

Thanks for the info epbrown,

I just did the calculations on the tire rack calculator this was using a stock 225/45/18 to a 225/40/19 tire.

I think I will put spacers on the front, since there is a 6mm difference between the CSL and the ZCP, interesting that most of the width goes towards the inside of the car.

For the front ZCP wheels..
5mm LESS clearance on the strut side, and the outside edge of the wheel will RETRACT 5mm

For your front OEM CSL wheels they are
11mm LESS clearance on the strut side, and the outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 1mm

It seems the rear wheels are extended more than enough

For both ZCP and CSL rear wheels, (255/35/18 to 255/35/19)
3mm LESS clearance on the strut side, and the outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 9mm
