These are pictures of my car



I want to know if there will be any problems fitting them to my car and what kind of tires I'd need

Thanks, for the help guys

Fitment would be fine. But your 2.5i will be even slower with the 19" wheels. Normally I'd say you'd need to lower the suspension with 19" wheels in order to not look silly, but I've seen the M6 reps on stock Z4M suspensions in person and I think the styling of the wheels can let you get away without a drop.

And take off the front plate with the BMW roundel. There's already another roundel 10" above it. It's like having a 2nd nose growing on your chin. It looks stupid. (unless you do have a 2nd nose growing on your chin, then I apologize and no offense intended),.

Im doing the same thing with my Z, difference is, Im going with the 18" ones, with a 2" drop. 2" drop because I have the non sport suspension. GP20, what do you think of that setup? Smaller wheel diamater with the drop. I just ordered some Exclaim UHP's and gonna see how I like them, those may be the tires I wrap the M6 reps with. Opinion please.

OP: I would go with the 18" to be sure that theres no rubbing, a friend of mine has 19" M6 reps on his Z and he has issues with rubbing. Just putting that out there.
