HELP! - CSL 19inch Z4M - F:ET44 R:ET27

Sirhan · 11-28-2012, 06:38 AM

Guys

I have a set of of CSL wheels for my 2007 Z4M Coupe.

The specs are as follows:

FRONT- 19X8.5 ET 44 - TYRES: 265/30/19
REAR - 19X9.5 ET 27 - TYRES: 235/35/19

Will this work with no spacers?

Beedub · 11-28-2012, 06:46 AM

Yep no problem but the front won't look too hot, it will appear rather sunken...

A 10mm front spacer would give near ideal conservative z4m offsets.

Sirhan · 11-28-2012, 06:55 AM

Thanks Beedub, I do not want to use spacers so I guess that I will live with the sunken look.

Why don't you want to use a spacer?

v3.2mc · 11-28-2012, 08:49 AM

i'm sure you know this and your OP has a typo...

the 235 tread should be on the 8.5", and the 265 tread should be on the 9.5".

Sirhan · 11-28-2012, 10:43 AM

sorry, new to this forum. What a OP?

Hi Dub

I dont want a spacer because of the vibrations and safety aspect. I drive above 260km/h often so I would not be too comfortable at those speeds with a spacer.

Freeways are gr8 in SA and cops can be bribed

If I use 245 at the front, will it rub?

welsome to zpost!

The "good" spacers are piloted, so they are concentric. I don't think strength is much of an issue, put the 10mm up front. It's the same setup I have. Zero vibration. Got them from ECS tuning.

use a proper hubcentric spacer with longer studs or bolts is essentially the same as a lower offset wheel from the factory.... the spacers that are of concern are the bolt on type that then use their own studs..... like what the GTR owners use!!

inTgr8r · 11-28-2012, 12:13 PM

^ whs

some (Porsche) cars come with OE spacers

marinb · 11-28-2012, 01:25 PM

If you want you can run 245/35/19 front and 285/30/19 rear and it won't rub.

Sirhan · 11-29-2012, 01:42 AM

Hi Geauxkart

Do you have the link of the spacer that you used? part number?

Without a spacer running 265 at the back and 235 at the front. Will i experience a bit more oversteer?

Dammmittt · 11-29-2012, 05:06 AM

You could try 245/35 front, 265/35 rear like I have on my VS8s...while not a perfect height match, I think the extra rubber up front is worth it.

Geauxkart · 11-29-2012, 06:44 AM

And make sure to order the longer bolts they recommend.

Sirhan · 11-30-2012, 03:59 AM

check out the pics

Beedub · 12-01-2012, 06:34 AM

where did you pick these replicas from??

dubsesd · 12-01-2012, 10:33 PM

second, i hope you knew these are not authentic...

Geauxkart · 12-02-2012, 07:41 AM

How can you guys tell??

dubsesd · 12-02-2012, 07:50 AM

there should also be a BMW imprinted in between the spokes. may also be a bbs marking on the inside. the spokes are also skinier than original csl wheels. if you weigh them, you will also see a difference

Beedub · 12-02-2012, 08:09 AM

note the bmw stamp opposite the ///M badge ;-)
