Z4M tires

I have a z4 3.0si and was looking at getting a set of Z4M wheels. Would it be possible to use my current tires (R 255/35-18, F 225/40-18) on the z4m wheels?

Just curious is anyone has experience with this. Thanks!

I don't see any reasons why you can't run those tires

The rear offset is ~20mm too shallow, and the wheel is 1/2" wider. It'll be like riding with a massive 25mm spacer in the rear, and none in the front. The rear will likely stick slightly past the wheel arch and MAY introduce rubbing.

Keep that in mind.

I ran the 224s off my M on my 3.0i and it seems to work pretty well, however not sure in the case of a 3.0si...
