Hello all,

I have been watching this forum for a month now and am looking for a set of TE37 SL's for my z4m. Anyone willing to sell?

Since i am new and cant pm, crfine888, i need some help with the offsets and specs of the SL's you currently have on ur ride. What is your car lowered on? I love your setup btw Truly an amazing transformation. I got my APR splitter after seeing yours!

Thanks for looking and your time!

Cheers

Chris had the 18x9.5" ET22 and 18x10.5" ET20 Volk Racing TE37SLs, but he has quite a bit of fender work done along with negative camber dialed in to fit. Hopefully that helps you out. Let me know if you have any other questions about TE37SLs, we have a couple sets available

Thanks David,

Was the fender work in front alone or the back also? Do you have any size that would fit without trouble?

Thanks!

That is not aggressive at all for the Z4M/ E46 M3 IMO. Like I have said I ran the 18x9 +22 and did not rub lowered on my M3 or Z4M. +35 would be awesome. But remember most of us run more negative front camber than the average Z4M driver. Especially with a front and rear drop of more than 2 inches.

10.5" +22 or anything similar will require roll of rear fenders, even with only 275s. Just throwing that out there.

Fendered were rolled at least, he might have shaved/ cut some of the rears also. I forgot what Chris has told me, but the fender rolling is a minimum to run these sizes and offsets.

The TE37s come in 18x8.5", 18x9.5", and 18x10.5". The Z4Ms I've seen around here go with either 18x9.5" all around or 18x9.5" and 18x10.5" staggered.

Do you have to do fender modifcation on stock suspension?

Are these sizes in stock?

Keep in mind also that this running a more aggressive setup IMO is a fad the E46 M3 kids and Z4M kids are doing because it "looks cool"... For daily driving and commuting I would go with the recommended sizes... I have seen some aggressive setups with a 9.5 or 10 in the front with a +22 offset and to me it looks like shit any way you dice it. On the track it will do wonders but for the street I would pass.

I would go with:

18x8.5 +35
18x9.5/10.5 +22-+25

I would also probably have 2 sets of wheels if you track the car a lot.

Thank you for the kind words.

I am running KW clubsport suspension.

I had 18x9.5 et22 w/ 255/35 rubber and 10x10.5 et20 w/ 275/35 rubber

For the front I had to run -3.0 degrees camber and max out my caster. no fender rolling was needed, but I did trim the plastic fender liner a bit.

For the rear, just some fender rolling and pulling is needed.

This worked but ended up being more show than go for my purposes. If you are looking for what is more functional, I would consider more conservative offsets/sizes as others have mentioned

cheers,
Chris

Thanks Chris!! So you think 8.5 up front and 9.5 in the back should be good enough. I am on stock suspension at the moment.

What wheels do you have on at the moment? I cant seem to find any info on your mod thread. Ohh and that diamond black TE37 SL
