Help with spacers for 2004 on OEM 18"
Folks, new to zpost. Sold my E90 M3 and gearing up for an F80 euro delivery. To tidy me up for the summer (and hopefully keep much longer wife permitting), I picked up a nice 2004 Z4 3.0, on stock 18" telephone dial rims with the usual 225/255 setup and M sport suspension.
Love the car so far, and was thinking spacers next - curious how big I can go without any rubbing. Any help would be appreciated...

I would order 12's first knowing you'll use regardless front/rear and then go from there. I personally don't like running 10's since they're so hit or miss on BMW's. It's always a question as to whether or not there's enough or too much 'hub lip' to support the 10's. And the cost of hub extenders + 10's is so expensive when a 12 might simply do the job. I always go 5's or 12+.

If you want exact, go to the dealership and ask them to swap your tires (don't tell em you need spacers), they will tell you exactly how big the spacers need to be when they realize the wheel won't fit - and no charge unless you buy spacers and finish installation there.

I will probably just run 5's all around on the Z4 since the setup is kind of flush already. I'll order 5's all around for the E34 M5 also. The E36 beater on the other hand would need 10's or 12's in the rear, so there's my real issue. |
