New Shoes ;)
Hello all,
Today I picked up a very clean set of style 67 19 inch oem wheels got them for 650 from a gent that was but 3 cities away. The question is what size tires am I supposed to use on these wheels? I know the offset is 47 front 27 rear, so I figures 225/35/19 up front and 255/30/19 in the rear... Does that sound about right? I have done a search and cant seem to get a straight answer. I'm really hoping someone with this set up shimes in right about now. Thanks guys. SSG S IMAG0247.jpg by [url=http://www.flickr.com/people/54900415@N08/]ssg_s82[/url |

I'm unable to see the photos where I am.. but if I remember style 67s were M3 rims, no?
If your car had stock sport package then the tire sizes were: Front: 225-40-18 Rear: 255-35-18 This would translate onto 19" rims as: Front: 225-35-19 OR 235-35-19 Rear: 255-30-19 I'm assuming the width of the rims can support 225/235 and 255 rears. |

you realize the rears will NOT fit? the 27 offset is way too low for a non-m.

In this link all he mentions is a smaller tire size, and he is also lower due to aftermarket suspension.
http://www.cardomain.com/ride/237466...-z4-bristol-gb And I'm sure I have seen other non m's with these on. Just not sure what modifications, if any, had to be done. Thanks again. Keep the info coming SSG S |

if you're willing to make them fit, you will definitely have to roll the rear fenders. the 225/255 sounds about right.

Im really hoping that someone who has done this or knows of someone who has puts in their 2 cents I really do appreciate the input though.
BTW rolling the rear fenders....how difficult and how much is it to do? SSG S |

there's not much more input you need. use the recommended tire widths. the oem 19s are a standard staggered setup so there's not much to that. its just a matter of getting the rears to fit w/o rubbing given the low offset and to do that, you'll probably need to roll the fenders. |

Will go into a shop... I would hate to see what my car looks like after swinging away at it LoL
Seeing how i have not received any replies to messages Ive sent to individuals, I will go with the following 225/35 and 255/30 with rolled fenders That should do the trick Thanks again guys. SSG S Cant wait for it to look like this... |

With the lip rolled up, water & salt can seep into the V and stay there, if there's even a hairline crack in there, you can have rust forming within a few years. Speaking from experience. (not on the Z4) I ended up using truck bed lining, worked like a charm to coat over the inside wheel well... just be very careful to mask your paint properly. The stuff is like asphalt and ridiculously difficult to clean up. |

i really dont think you will need to roll your fenders. go to e46 and see what tires the non m guys are running with m fitment...remember that the z4 has more room in the rear fenders than the e46 does. so basically if an e46 non m can do it with rolled fenders you can fit the same size tires no problem.
