Anybody ever run 18's on front, 19's on back?

I've always thought running different sizes on front and rear was a pretty cool look. Not sure how it would look on the Z4 coupe, but I'd imagine it would look good. Anyone seen it before?

Nobody's ever considered this?

Sure you can do it. I think it would look silly on this car, but that's just my honest opinion.

You can be the first! LOL

That's what I'm afraid of, haha! I think you would run into a problem b/c of the tire sidewall difference more than the wheels themselves. Cars that are designed to run 18/19 or 19/20 probably have the cpu offset that inch difference so that the tires can look pretty similar sidewall wise, but I don't know that..

Not really a popular option for BMWs.

I've seen it done on Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and even NSXs. But haven't seen anything like that on BMWs.

Of course you can. You just have to match the overall diameter of the wheel/tire combination front to rear, which is easy to do.
