A few people are running them. From my experience, being lowered on H&R springs they do have a slight rub on the front and if going over very big bumps on the road the rears can touch the fender liner as well.

blitz..... what tyre sizes are you running, they look chunky!!

im guessing with a 235/265 setup this wouldn't rub (with a fair amount of camber).

what i am suprised about is the rubbing in the rear.... how low is your car??

245/40-18 & 265/40-18 (the E9X M3 OEM tire sizes)
And the car is not that low, only on H&R springs with the OEM spacer pads on the rear to level it out

Hmm yeah try running the Z4M's OEM tire size (F 225/45; R 255/40) and you should be good.

the pics show me this setup does work... albeit it needs imo a 235/35 265/30 x 18.

blitz thanks for the detailed info....very good stuff!

I really love the look of these wheels, and I think a red E92 M3 is the colour I would pick.

All these wheels need on your car is a "nicer" and proper fitting tire. I hate the look of the tread extending onto the sidewall on the Contis... Always have Nice street tire though!
