VMR V710 18x8.5 +35 & 18x9.5 +33 fitment on E85 Z4

jjdrivesajazz · 12-30-2011, 02:42 PM

just got some wheels to test out fitment on my gf's 2003 z4, the car is a base model 2.5i with stock suspension (for now, getting H&R springs soon)

wheels are
-front: 18x8.5 +35 offset
-rear: 18x9.5 +33 offset

they wheels look very flush from what i see so far, i don't have tires so i cannot put them on the ground, but there is a ton of space inside the wheel well so going another 10mm higher in offset or 18x8/18x9 wheel might do the trick so it doesn't rub on bumps

front fitment

rear fitment

Dammit, thought you did a hover-car conversion there...

Nice rims!

Looks good. Now get those tires mounted!

Remember, when you put load on the suspension, the wheels will start tucking back into the wheel wells. They will sit roughly 1/4" deeper inside once to set it on the ground.

I have gotten excited about new wheels, but not enough to mount them without tires.
