Will E36 Rims (18x8 et38, 18x9 et40) fit on a 03 Z4?

Hello,

I am new to the Forums, but I have owned my Z4 for about 2 years now.

I am currently in the market for new wheels/tires and am hoping to upgrade to 18s from my stock 17s.

I am new to BMW wheels, so all of the different offsets/bores are a little confusing to me. I did some searching but was unable to find a definitive answer.

I currently saw these wheels for sale; http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum....php?t=1646730

They are
18x8 Offset 38 (225/40/18)
18x9 Offset 40 (255/35/18)

My questions is, will they fit a 2003 Z4 3.0 without any modifications (fender rolling or spacers)? My vehicle has stock suspension.

Thanks in advance!

Yes, they will fit with no modifications needed.

Great, thank you!

I tried to search and use an offset calculator by 1010, but I wanted someones actual opinion.

I am not super familiar with how offset sizes will affect fit.
