The consensus on here seems to be 245/35 and 275/30 But I can only seem to find 275/35r18 online which is why I was looking at 245/40 and 275/35. |

Can anyone suggest specs for both wheel and tire for any OZ leggera/superleggera wheels?
Really trying to understand wheel specs but its confusing and import of commonly used wheels sold in US wheels is to expensive to import |

I just recently purchased a z4 m and was looking for a square setup. Does anyone know if it's possible to run a 18x9 or wider on all 4 wheels without any rubbing? I'm more concerned about the fronts rubbing on full lock.
I'm running stock suspension with stock alignment ATM. Last edited by ChaoChow; 03-29-2020 at 02:50 AM.. |

I would suspect you could get rubbing on the outside of the tire if you didn't have at least one degree negative camber. With out camber washers, the need for the 5 mm spacer drops. The wheel won't be as close to the strut due to lower angle stock vs washers. The rear it's to clear the inner wheel well. Usually, you would end up with an Et27 clearance with this wheel/tire size. The spacer gets us very close to that number, with spacers front/rear have, you can rotate tires and wheels around. And have a square setup. |

Spacers
Good morning. I'm running a totally stock configuration with Pilot Sports and a smidgeon of additional camber up front. In discussions with grandson, we've agreed that the car would look better with the wheels pushed away from the body a bit with spacers. Any experience or insight concerning the widths of the spacers that would work or look best?
Thanks, Ted |

The rear wheels sit too far inboard when I'm running the stock wheels, but I'm not as concerned about the looks when the stock wheels are on. The ZCP wheels look perfect in the rear without spacers.

The ZCP wheels are 19's but you can get VMR reps in 18's. Or go with Apex. They have plenty of great options and very good fitment guides.

Just lowered the car on stock wheels and stock sizes 225/255 MPSS. For spacers I was thinking I go 20mm front and 12mm rear for flush fitment. 12mm in the front doesnt seem like enough. What do you guys think? No added camber other then what naturally occurs when lowering

Hi Ryank382,
I did a bit of messing around with spacers before choosing new wheels, so hopefully I can help. The first picture is with the standard wheels and a 12mm spacer. It didn't look bad but I thought that another 5mm further out would look better. The second picture is with an 8.5 inch wheel, +35 offset with a 10mm spacer (and a R18 235 40 tyre). So, it is equivalent to the stock 8 inch +42 wheel with a 23mm spacer. I think this setup looks spot-on but 3mm further in (i.e. using a 20mm spacer) would look great too. A 12mm spacer on the back will be fine - this is exactly what I had in the third picture. My car is still standard height and geometry. If you're lowered, you may have more camber and it won't look quite like the pictures of my car. |

I'm also looking to get some new wheels and am trying to understand what I will need to make the 788 M2 rims (Front: 19x9 29/Rear: 19x10 40) fit my stock Z4M (Front: 18x8 42/Rear 18x9 30).
Using this calculator (https://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Whee...et-Calculator#), it seems they will poke out an extra 26mm in the front. My inner clearance in the rear is reduced by 23mm. Will these numbers be a major issue with regular road use? I'm limited in my knowledge here but tried to understand as much as I can before posting.

Furthermore why is 25 the magic number for the rear, considering stock is 30? It's quite confusing as some members aim for 23 (https://www.zpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=911228) and various other numbers. Although I feel I might be splitting hairs at this point...

I have 35 offset for the front and run 245/35R19 - same Conti Extreme DW and that slightly rubs the outer fender liner (where the bumper and fender meets) on full compression. I know someone who also have a 35 offset that runs the same size tire (245/35R19), but with Michelin PSS and he has a slight rub on the inner rear fender liner on full lock. But most don't have issue with a 35 offset with 245/35R19 tires. A 30 offset will push it out another 5 mm, so it will clear the inner fender strut and liner for sure, but you may risk rubbing on the outer fender, which may be corrected (to a degree) if need by adding more camber and or running a narrower tire. Again, your mileage may varies depending on tire selection. Last edited by XMetal; 06-19-2020 at 10:07 PM.. |
