Fitment question for 17" on non-M
For the Apex guys or anyone else with similar experience. I've read many of the threads here and would like feedback on a wheel/tire combo for my new-to-me '03 non-M Z4 3.0 Sport pkg.
I would like to go 255/40R17 square for the performance and tire rotation advantages. I am looking at Apex arc-8 17x9et30 on all four corners (I really want the "concave" style if I can make it work). I realize this is quite an aggressive fit on the front. Assuming NO plan for camber plates, strut pins removed and camber maxed (approx -1.5* ?), can I run this wheel up front with a minor fender roll? If no, how about if I shim to -2.0* ? Will -2.0* in front kill my tire wear for a daily/spirited driver? Lets assume tire will be a hefty width summer like RS3 or Direzza, but NOT as extreme as an r-compound. Thanks in advance. I know the et42 will fit easily up front, but they aren't concave. Love this forum! |

We understand that you want the concave wheel on your car, but without camber plates, it would be very difficult to achieve on the front. The amount of negative camber will indeed wear the inside of the tire more than the outside, but many customers that have -2 degrees or more camber would often swap their driver side and passenger side tires after a couple of months to have the tires wear more evenly. The rear wheels and tires would be flush with the fender with these tires. The bead protector and part of the sidewall stuck out of the fender, but the actual corner of the tread was still within the fender on this setup when we tested it with a Nitto NT05 tire. This is aggressive already, and could require a fender roll to eliminate all rubbing. We'd say there would be a slight chance that this setup would have no rubbing without a fender roll, but it would be dependent on the ride height of the car and which particular tire you choose. A fender roll or added negative camber in the rear is recommended to make sure that you can avoid fender rubbing. Here are some photos of the rear fitment:

Hi guys, quick question. Would 17x9 ET30 fit all around on Z4M with Stoptech's 355mm six piston kit without spacers? Im thinking that size for track wheels and same 255 width tires on all corners. Opinions?

Unfortunately the 17x9" ET30 ARC-8's would require a 12mm spacer in order to clear the Stoptech ST-60 355mm BBK due to the concavity of the spokes and the size of the caliper, along with the location of the caliper due to wheel hub. The ST-40 caliper would clear (though a very tight fit) due to the smaller caliper size. The 18" wheels would be the better option for your car with the ST-60 BBK.

The 18x9" ET31 EC-7 would be an option if you wanted to stick with the 9" width. However, the ARC-8's do not come in that fitment, and if you preferred the ARC-8 style, the wheel to use would be the 18x9.5" ET35 to have a concave wheel face.

Get your Z4M track ready with a set of ARC-8's!
This car is running 18x9.5" ET35 and 18x10" ET25 Anthracite ARC-8's with a 5mm wheel spacer in the front for the tire to clear the strut. 275/35/18 Continental slicks are installed on the wheels and the car is sitting on Ground Control coilovers. Please let us know if you have any questions about fitment and we'd be happy to help you out!

The fitment that you quoted is very aggressive up front, and is used frequently on track oriented cars looking for more front end grip. The 18x9.5 et35 application used up front requires camber plates with a decent amount of negative camber dialed in. This allows the wider wheel and tire to clear the front fenders. We do not typically recommend 19" applications for the Z4 M, especially if you are tracking the car. If your Z4 M is strictly for street use, and you prefer the look of 19" wheels, then the bolt-on fitment would be 19x8.5 et35 front and 19x9.5 et22 rear. The 19x10 et25 can also be used in the rear, but may require a slight fender roll depending on the tire size, brand and ride height. Tire sizes would be 235/35/19 front and 275/30/19 rear respectively. Here is a photo: If you wanted to run concave front wheels like the white Z4 M in your quote, then you would use our 19x9.5 et35 application up front, paired with either 245/35/19 or 255/35/19 tires. Like his 18" setup, you too would need camber plates to dial in enough negative camber to allow the front wheel and tires to fit without rubbing. - Ryan
