The Newbie Offset question, with Apologies

Irish1 · 09-24-2008, 11:48 PM

I've done a search here and on Bimmerforums and still haven't found a specific answer to my question. I ordered take-off Z4 MCoupe wheels and tires to use as track wheels/tires for my Z4 3.0si Coupe. I KNOW the offsets are quite different, but I just can't seem to figure out exactly what size Rogue Engineering or H&R spacers and lugnuts I'll need to use to make the M wheels fit correctly.

Can someone advise specifically? Thanks for your help. Cheers.

You don't need any wheel spacer. Running any wheel spacer will just make your currently working set-up become non-working (fender rubbing).

GP20 is right. Anything you do with spacers will move the wheels even further out past the fenders. As it is now, you need to be carefull with tire size selection. The oem M wheels will work with the non M Z4 cars with some users having minor rub problems at full compression.

I had rubbing problems even with stock suspension! My solution was a stiffer KW setup as close to stock height as possible.
