Z4MC with E92M3 wheel

Hello. TAKU from Japan.

18 inches of M3 were tried to my Z4MC.
The offset is best I think.
Note You must set front camber 2.5°negative.
My car lowered -20mm front&rear. And put adjustable rideheight suspension with ARAGOSTA.
Tire sizes are 235/40 18 front 265/35 18 rear BS RE11tire.

Though it only has to serve as a reference

regards

Taku

Finally, someone has done this and proved that it works and the offset look great(aggressive!). Hey Taku(from Japan), I was wondering why you let the dealer drill you're front bumper? More importantly, why they drilled it with a plate holder that looks like it was meant for the U.S. not Japan?

Car looks great with the wheels anyway! Thanks for the camber adjusments.

WOW, I really like how those look. They look much better on the Z4M than the M3! Suits the car's proportions better.

I might pick up a set.... Getting tired of my CSLs.

Good luck finding a set. I tried to buy 3 set so far. No low ball either, full price. They get sold right away! I am always "next" in line if the deal falls through kinda shit. Maybe in 10mos or so there will be more of a used supply and more available?

You have to low down and adjust the front camber.
They run 3800 with tires from dealers.

The last couple of sets on M3forum and M3Posts went for ~$1,800. Kinda pricey for used wheels IMO, but when the supply goes up that will surely come down.

Rear fits perfect. Front is very aggressive, but fits fine on stock suspension.

Way too aggressive for the front, stick out a lot. The front looks wider than the rear.

I just tried this weekend and don't like it that much. That's why I have it for sale now.

I think the E92 M3 wheels are unattractive. In fact I find the entire car to be unattractive. Very heavy, no torque, poor gas mileage, littered with busy looking styling gimmicks that look like something a kid drew in study hall. Just my opinion, of course.

They are OEM, Rear fits, front is too aggressive and most likely will rub.

The size of the wheel is a standard size of E92M3. Because it is from my friend's E92M3.

Certainly, it is agressive, but i think better than poor wheels of aftermarket.

Handling is not bad, and either is trial?

By the way, the size of the wheel 8.5J-18+29 9.5J-18+23

Taku,

Did you need to adjust the front camber in order for the fronts not to rub because your car is lowered by 2 centimeters, or is this adjustment needed even with stock suspension?
