What the answer on X5 rims??

I know its been done but I can't find the details on how to make them work..... are the rims a direct bolt on or spacers required for an '07 Z4M roadster?? Sorry only had the car a few weeks and it came on snow tires for heavens sake......


BMW x5 wheel specs:
19x9j et48 front
19x 10j et45 rear

You're going to need wheel spacers for proper clearance. At least 15-20mm spacers. The X5 has the same bolt pattern and hub bore, so no need for any adapters or hub rings.

I know the X5 rim are pretty heavy, and I've seen the Tiger Claws done on the Z4 so I'm sure they work with some adjustment.

I've also seen the Style 132's done on the 3-series and the 7 series. But haven't seen Style 132's done on an Z4 yet and I'm wondering about those. Super easy to clean and OEM and cheap. Same offsets as the tiger claws too......

The front wil fit
But the rear wil need a 15mm spacer
9j in front is really wide so you can't go verry low or you need a verry strecht tyre

I have type 132 on my X5. I can tell you that you definitely do NOT want to put those on the Z. Wheel/tire combo runs in the 70 to 75 lbs range! It's so heavy that I didn't even want to attempt at trial fitting them on the Z.

Exactly...The chunky 132s are perfect for the 5000 lbs X5, not so for the Z

Pictured here is the X5 OE setup with 255/50R19 fronts and 285/45R19 rears

Agreed. X5 wheels are far too heavy,

BUT, those 132's look sexy. I've seen them on a 3-series and "oh hell yeah".

132's are one of my favorite wheels. Still makes the car look fresh after all these years. A lot of non-car folks don't even know this is a 12yrs+ old car...I guessed the same can be said about the ///M
