Custom 18" 3-Piece BBS Style 5s AGGRESSIVE

Hey Guys!

I have a 2007 BMW z4 3.0SI Coupe on stock suspension and stock wheels. I have the opportunity to purchase a very nice set of custom BBS Style 5 wheels.

They are a very aggressive setup however.

The Fronts are 18x10 et -12.7 running a 225/35/18 tire
The Rears are 18x12 et -6.35 running a 265/35/18 tire

I plan on eventually running coilovers, but for now am on stock suspension.
Can anyone who knows these cars well chime in and tell me if this setup is even feasible, and if I will need to run spacers or excessive camber, if so I will pass. I know stock offset is et 47 front and et 50 rear, but its hard to estimate short of test fitting them. He ran them on a lowered e90 335i for reference.

The only reason those wheels had a chance even on the E90 is the ridiculous stretch fit on the tires. Also, those are non-standard sizes for BBS RC090 (Style 5) wheels. The BBS RS series have a center design very similar to the RC090, but they're 3 piece which allows you to choose inner and outer barrels to make up about any width or offset.
They may also be reps........
Just out of curiosity, what are they asking for the set?

Hey man,

So previous owner measured incorrectly and I found the correct offsets to be +15 front and +13 rear. Also they are in fact 18" style 5s which were converted to 3 piece by spinfab. I know because I inspected them closely and bought them. I will be posting up pictures as soon as I bolt them on

Yea, Im sure I can run mild camber to fix that though. But I am on stock suspension atleast until the summer, so no big deal. Considering resizing the rears with a smaller lip too.

There's no mild camber that will fix that poke.
