so... suspension and braking will probably be upgraded. let your mind loose. I'm thinking the car will end up being a restore/upgrade

kinda like this guy did with his '69

i need to know the offset and stance set up immediately. that looks great but if i can go deeper on the rears, i'm gonna do it. i want to have near crazy offsets for the e46 lol

if you do that setup there, i was advised 45ET in front will be fine with 33ET in the rear and you'll have to just baby roll the rear fenders.

My offsets are 35 and 45 with 235/35 in the front and 265/30 in the rear. I had to roll a bit and trim some of the rear plastic but I don't rub at all. You cold do a spacer for a more agressive stance...

35 in front and 45 in back right?

[YoRuddy]

Do you know if the 135M comes in 17"? I bought a ZHP with 19" Hamann PG3's. The wheels look great but the ride quality suffers. Aren't 18" standard with the ZHP? Do you have any pics of a ZHP with 17"? I do alot of driving and am thinking that 17" might be necessary to have some comfort over 2-300 mile days. Feedback welcome.

[danewilson77]

Yeah....18's are standard. 18x8 front, 18x8.5 rear.

Some fella's here are rollin on non-135 17's and should throw up pics.

265/30/19 ? do you have any rubbing issues or clearance issues?

[Rovert]

^ I do with a sedan running ET45 in the rear with rolled fenders and bumper clips shaved. But maybe because I'm low? Not that low though...

[bullfrogs_M3]

I might have a line on a set of M3 BBS CH's but I'm concerned with the rear wheel size. He says they are 19x9.5 (but i have a feeling they are 19x10) he also hasn't told me the ET yet.

Anyway I figured I would ask here first before I think of pullin the trigger. I'll read through this entire thread later as I am sure this question has been asked before.

[tripod06]

in the words of Casey "Anything can fit as long as you have the resources to make the mod happen."

Rovert, i test fitted a 19x9.5 ET22 on my rear the other weekend. looks like it'll sit great with no drop, with drop, it will need negative cambering. With a small spring drop (nothing dramatic) will i need to cut the inside wall or just roll hardcore?

[Nomar06]

Serious question, gimme ideas for the '02...

Thanks guys. We might be picking up a set of 13x6 style 61's (not sure, only 18 spokes) for the 2002 for now until we find something better. The guy wants only $150 for all 4 with tires.

Another question since I know nothing about wheel fitment - can E9x Style 270's fit on the ZHP?

[mimalmo]

Those are 18x8 ET20. What tires are you planning on?

[Hermes]

No plan yet, I was just looking through the OEM styles and that one caught my eye. Is there a wider one than 8"?

[mimalmo]

According to the Felgen BMW wheel site, 8" width is it.

[Hornung418]

Hey guys i haven't left a post here in awhile, last time i got good insight. But i have a 05 Sedan ZHP, and i was wondering if you think the BBS CH-R 19" wheels would fit without rubbing? i plan on pairing those wheels with Continental ExtremeContact DW.

Tire Sizing:
235/35ZR19 XL
245/35ZR19 XL

Wheels:
19x8
19x9

Thanks guys.

Offset?

Sent from Williamsburg, VA USA

[JimN9NE]

I found the offset on another website, Offset: 32, 40 & 48. But my sedan is fully stock, plan on keeping it that way. So i guess my question is, would this set-up even work? if not i probably will get 18". Also is there a big difference in performance running 19s compare to the stock zhp wheels which are 18s of course?

[danewilson77]

Not with the 32's. Do me a favor and grind the numbers, using the calculator in the original post. Tell me what you come up with.

Sent from Williamsburg, VA USA

[JimN9NE]

Hey so i couldnt find right offset numbers so scratch that idea, but assuming they do fit fine. do you think that set up would be just as good as the oem zhp wheels? comfort ? decrease speed? decrease mileage? ride height?

[mimalmo]

Your mileage will go down, your car will be slower and it will actually sit higher.

[JimN9NE]

Ok so i believe the offset is 40mm on the CH-R. i think that would fit a stock zhp, let me know what you guys think

[mimalmo]

yup but you might need to roll the fenders.

Also, 19's with no suspension drop = 4x4 look. You're better off with 17's or 18's on stock suspension.

[JimN9NE]

sound good man, thanks for the heads up.

[xtremecro]

Trying to see if this will fit. 19x9 et 35 235/40/19 and a 19x10 et 35 255/35/19 any way the rears could fit?

17x8.5 +40 245/40/17 Dunlop Direzza Z1 (width almost 255!)

I rub in the rear on large bumps or if I'm mid flight during track days. i believe I can run 255/40/17 if I needed to.

Camber is set at -3 up front and -2 in the rear.

I like seeing a car in midflight like that. :D I made my car do that....but it wasn't on the track, it was on a rough ground to bridge transition....weeeee up in the air...then touchdown....I scored big!! Rubbbbbbbbbbbbb...on 265/30/19 with 19x9.5 ET45 in the rear. LOL

[Vas]

Throwing ideas around but

19x8.5 +32 for the front
19x9.5 +35 for the rear.

Rolling fenders is not an issue or concern.

Thoughts ?

[mimalmo]

Depending on tires and suspension, you'll likely need to have your fenders rolled.

I had 19x10 ET35 rears and it fit with my rolled fenders. Tires were stretch fitment though.

[Nomar06]

I am hoping I could get a quick reply to a fitment question for a set of wheels I am looking to buy. Currently talking to the seller through emails.

They are 19x8.5 ET 38 in the front and rears are 19x9.5 ET 40. Tires are Kumho Ecsta SPT, 235/35 ZR19 front, and 265/30 ZR19 rear.

The car suspension is Koni SRT.T and Eibach sportline springs.


Thanks in advance...

[danewilson77]

I think it's gonna be Tuco in the rear, and will require a roll, minimum.

I'm considering these since the front wheel cracked and tire got cut this weekend. I can pick these wheels up for $350 with the tires. They are M6 reps....not my top choice but worth it for the price.

Edit: From what I am reading online, I will need to roll the rear to fit them.

With a 265 tire you may need to pull the fender too.

265 on an ET40 is pretty hardcore. I rub with 265 on ET45 at a tucked height. Fenders rolled and rear bumper clips shaved. I guess I need a pull!!

Somewhat off topic, but has anyone seen the new style 296 wheels? They're one of the option wheels on the new E89 Z4. Soo damn sexy I think..

19x8 front, ET 29
19x9 rear, ET 40

I just can't decide between them and keeping my wheels..I like the polished finished with the dark accents on the M wheels, but I love the curves of the 135s. Plush the 135s just seem to fit the ZHP more. I think I'll save my 500 bucks for something higher on the list.

[danewilson77]

If your car is stock ride height...you may be ok. I would test fit them. It looks like you have access to them, no? Like Crickett posted....about 1" of poke.

[Hermes]

They're at Carl's, so I have access to them. I just need to have a Saturday off and him there so I can test it out when a lift is empty. If I ran 8" in the rear it might work better, but I don't have enough of those size

[danewilson77]

You would want at least 8.5's I think with 17's.

[elsanto]

So I picked up a set of style 68's tonight with 225 45 17 snows on them.. all good right? well maybe.

Apparently there are M3 Specific style 68's with unique offsets. the four I have are all part # 229480 which makes them a square set of 17 x 7.5 ET25 wheels.

I was wondering if anyone has tried to get these under the stock sheetmetal, or if they clearly won't fit LMK!

According to "willtheyfit.com" Fronts will be 15mm further into the fender lip, and the rears around 12mm. maybe running some 205 width rally style snowtires would work?

Thanks!

[Hornung418]

They will fit with a roll. Adding some camber to them will definitely add some clearance.

19 is the largest diameter I'd go. Then you need to figure your width and offset.

How did you like 19s, Eli? I'm considering a set of style 211.

If you want track wheels, go with lightweight 17's. If you want something that'll turn heads on the street, go with 19's. Loved my old VMR V710 setup.

I'm being really lazy, as I'm sure the answer's somewhere in this thread. Does anyone know if a square setup of 17x8.5, et 40 wheels (specifically, Enkei PF01) will fit on my lowered (KW v.2, maximum height) 2004 ZHP coupe without a front fender roll? It's time for new summer tires, and I'm done running an 18" asymmetric fitment on Madison's wonderful, pothole-strewn roads. If not, I'll just buy a set of 17x8 Oz Formula HLTs or Ultraleggeras.

[Hermes]

I don't think they'll fit without rubbing using full size tires. You might need to get some skinny rubber and stretch them, but that negates the advantage of the 17s larger sidewall for the potholes.

BTW, good to see you post. Don't be a stranger

[MsRN]

Thanks, Hermes. Not being a stranger on purpose...life just gets in the way sometimes.

[MsRN]

I've seen that some are running 18 x 8.5 et50 squared without problems. I assume that would follow for 17s?

[Hornung418]

I'm running 18x8.5 et35. Stretched 235s and I don't rub. At stock height...blown shocks however, so I am a little lower.

I've seen that some are running 18 x 8.5 et50 squared without problems. I assume that would follow for 17s?

Yeah on the 8.5", but it's the ET 35 that is likely to cause issues. It would be like having rears on plus 15mm spacers to push them out. It's the same issue I faced when I was thinking about installing the M-System 2's... but those have the super shallow offset of 20 or something like that which would probably require M3 flares. My current fitment issue is coming from running too wide of a rear tire (265) and I'm rubbing on the inside. I need to pull the wheels off and sand down my inner wheel well a little for clearance

Derbo--

Are the 245/40/17s stretched? I think Tire Rack recommends 225/45/17 for Enkei PF01s in 17 x 8.5, et 40. (Though, for the money, ARC8s may be a better choice for me because of their superior strength and weight).

[MsRN]

And I forgot--I'm running KW V2 coilovers, which are SUCH an improvement over stock.

They are not stretched at all. 245 is actually the recommended tire size for this width. The 8.5 stock rear tire is on 255mm and the limit of what fits on 8.5 rim. I know tire rack suggest 225 but it's very conservative.

I think you will be fine especially since you have V2 coilovers as well.

[MsRN]

Thanks, Derbo. Okay, ARC8s it is, in 245/40/17. Now to the most important question--Hyper Silver or Hyper Black with an A08 exterior? I'm thinking the latter.

[Pip]

Thanks, Derbo. Okay, ARC8s it is, in 245/40/17. Now to the most important question--Hyper Silver or Hyper Black with an A08 exterior? I'm thinking the latter.

Hyper silver looks fantastic with silver gray. I think the brightness makes it pop however many people run hyper black on silver gray (looks better on tiag).

[johnrando]

Hyper silver w/A08. (Love hyper black but agree w/Sean).

[MsRN]

Thinking now to recycle my D-Force 8.5 x 18s and get a second pair for a square setup. 255/35-18 would be ideal for speedo accuracy, but would be closer to the struts than stock 135Ms, and a whopping 2.84 cm further outboard on the fronts (I think). Given that the speedos on BMWS (VWs too, for that matter) typically run 2-3 mph fast, I should be okay with a 1-2% diameter increase without drastically messing up the speed readings. So 235/40 or 245/35-40 should work, if they clear the fenders. Otherwise, I suppose I could run a 225/40-18 square setup; the rears will just look anemic is all.

[MsRN]

Why the 18s? I just like the concave faces much better than the flat-faced ARC-8s or the D-Force LTWs, which seem my best options in 17". I suppose I could run Enkei PF-01s or OZ Ultraleggeras with centering rings, as they look decent.

[Hermes]

The 8.5 stock rear tire is on 255mm and the limit of what fits on 8.5 rim.

Nope...

13732

[MsRN]

Okay...thinking 235/40-18 or 245/40-18 on 8.5" et40 D-Force Empowers; the 245s might be too much, as they'll be 9.3 mm closer to the strut and 23.4 mm further outboard in front versus the 225/40-18s that come on the stock 135M fronts. 235s squared seem quite doable at +5mm inboard and +18.4mm outboard up front.

Or Enkei PF01s in 17x8.5 with spacers and 245/40-45-17s. Decisions, decisions.

Speedo is not based on the wheels so no worry there, it's the axle. Seems the consensus classic 8.5 square setup on 18s is 245/35 from what I've seen.

[Hermes]

That's not exactly correct. Speedo is based on an assumption of the diameter of your wheel/tire combo. Since I went with an oversize rear my speedo is now surprisingly accurate

[MsRN]

That makes sense, Hermes. Speed measurements at the axle will only be accurate if the wheel/tire diameter matches the number the manufacturer designed the speedometer around.

So John, is the consensus that 245/35-18s on et40s will fit on a lowered e46?

I run 17x8.5 +40 arc8 with 245/40/17 tires with no fender roll. I also ran 18x8.5 +40 and 255/35/18 with no front rub. It should be noted that I do have ground control coilovers which do not have the large spring perch like the stock struts. My camber was also set to -3 degrees.

After taking to Brett and getting ready to consult with the Michelin dealer in Delaware I'm about 90% sure that they will reimburse us for my dry rotted tires so I've been looking and am seriously considering the style 313s probably in 18s, what does everyone think?

With a fender roll, is it even possible to do a 18x9 et 31 all around on a sedan? Tire size would also be square like a 245mm width.

Dario, you have a 10mm spacer you can throw on the car to see?

The 245 width should be okay. The ET 31 worries me; I decided against square 18x8.5 ET 40 with 255s on my coupe, but I'm being cautious.

[sillieidiot]

i think with a et31 and a 9" width you could do it. just have to roll the fender really flat and increase negative camber in the front.

I kinda already know what to do to make these wheels fit, just wondering where I should buy spacers from? I also want to source genuine BBS studs if anybody has a source...

So, those Apex PS-7s are pretty nice. Considering them.

They have 18x8.5 in ET35 or ET20. Given that I want 18x8.5 square, and I have a BBK ready to install, and I'm lowered, which would fit? I understand with an 8.0 front wheel I would need a 3mm spacer to have the BBK fit. If I could have either wheel w/o the spacers, I'd be happy. I'm not that knowledgeable about wheel fitting so that's why I'm tossing it out here. My tires are 245/35/18 PSSs.

I've seen that some are running 18 x 8.5 et50 squared without problems. I assume that would follow for 17s?

Thats the setup I currently have. Fronts- 235/40/18 Rears- 245/40/18 on 18x18.5" Style 135's.

This setup wasn't an issue until I installed the KW V1's now the front rims rub on the struts. I had to raise the front and add 10mm spacers to clear.


I'm running 18x8.5 et35. Stretched 235s and I don't rub. At stock height...blown shocks however, so I am a little lower.

My 4x4 game is strong today.
So on the rear should I run a small spacer considering that right now I have a very very small amount of clearance between the inner lip of the wheel and the body/wheel well? Also i plan on lowering it at least an inch, enough to eliminate wheel gap but still keep the raked look. I know I'm working with the smallest of margins here so I thought a very tiny spacer would give me a little additional clearance while still allowing me to fit the wheels. Is that correct? Or nah?http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/07/08/a8uvutyr.jpg

[sillieidiot]

i don't understant why you guys think adding a spacer will increase clearance. it does the opposite. sorry it's not just you, but it seems that a few people on here believe the same thing.

I'm not at all worried about the outer clearance with the fender, I'm worried about the inner lip clearance on the strut/body because when I lower the car it's gonna gain some camber, which will cause the inner lip of the wheel or maybe even the tire to hit the strut/body. So a spacer would effectively increase clearance in that sense while at the same time it would take away some clearance on the fender side, which I'm not super worried about tbh. I'm gonna wait until the coilovers are on to make a decision.

[sillieidiot]

my bad, read too fast and didn't see that you meant inner lip lol i don't think it's going to hit it at all. but what are your rear wheel specs? like 10s in the back? you can always test this easily. just put a lot of weight in the trunk, it'll effectively lower your car so you can see. I'd go around and kidnap friends/family LOL

Ok so my current tires are 255/35/18

I dropped down from 255/40/18 to squeeze the 255s up front however now I'm thinking about going staggered again but want to keep the 255 up front again.

What happens if I go 275/35/18 in back? It's actually closer to stock diameter than what's on there now but does it matter the rears are like 2-3% off?

Reason I ask is cuz the 35 sidewall on 255 makes the rears look really small even on coils.

The only thing that it'll do is throw DSC off the further away from what the car was designed with. Under normal driving it should not effect how the vehicle operates. Try it out and see if you can live with it depending if DSC kicks in a lot earlier or later.

Uhhh...your effective offset in the rear is 15.

So you subtract 15 from 42 and get 27 for your rear spacer. The fronts need a 7 mm spacer. 42-35.

Width wise on the rim don't see how that wouldn't work. You'll have a shit ton of sidewall sticking out protecting the lip from rash.

ET35 is a bit sketchy for the rear with wide rubber. I remember putting a 10mm spacer on my ET45 9.5" wheel wrapped in 265 in the back. Just pulling out of the driveway I knew the spacer needed to come off.

I was lowered but I'm guessing any hard compression would rub the fenders and slowly take out your sidewall. Your experience may differ with different tires.

[Taliben]

18x9.5 et35 should be doable with a 255 in the back and rolling/minor trimming if you're lowered. Front you'll need a spacer and more fender mods if you want to run square

[sillieidiot]

i'm pretty sure you need a lot more than minor rolling/trimming if you are lowered. that's what you would need if you're stock lol but i've never tried running those stock. I've fitted the et35 18x9.5 squared on both lowered sedan and coupe and they needed quite a bit of fender mods. it was a PIA. but totally worth it lol

Any of those will work. I had option 3 on my last ZHP and it was a great fitment. If you go with a staggered set, though, I would recommend using the OE tire sizes of 225/40 and 255/35. A 235/40 in the front will be noticeably taller than the 255/35 in the rear.

OPTIONS:

Number 1: 18x8.5 et 35 square setup 235/40

Number 2: 18.8.5 et 45 square setup 235/40 (small spacers / 5mm)

Number 3: F 18x8.5 et 35. R 18x9.5 et 45 235/40 255/35

Number 4: F 18x8.5 et 45. R 18x9.5 et 45 235/40 255/35

Tire i'm leaning towards is the Conti DWS 06

Advice/Opinions/Recommendations Welcomed


Any of those will work. I had option 3 on my last ZHP and it was a great fitment. If you go with a staggered set, though, I would recommend using the OE tire sizes of 225/40 and 255/35. A 235/40 in the front will be noticeably taller than the 255/35 in the rear.


Gonna need to roll fenders in the rear with Option 1 stock ride height? and if dropped I would most likely need a roll correct?

If ZHPizza ran the option 3 rears without rolling rear fenders, then you will be fine with option 1. Option 1 has 3mm more outer clearance than option 3 in the rear.
Whatever you do make sure you can run the right size tires.
I'm pretty sure this has been dropped a few times here but worth a read http://www.motoiq.com/MagazineArticles/ID/3974/How-to-PROPERLY-select-and-size-TIRES-for-PERFORMANCE.aspx

Great Read. thank you. I ended up going with option 1 considering I just daily drive this car. I also love the idea of no fender mods for now. Thank you for your math skills and suggestion!

Which make/model? The stud conversions look awesome on that style wheel, too [emoji1303]

[sillieidiot]

Those look like those new VMR 810 flow formed wheels that VMR wanted to install on my car for a shoot.

Will the wheels in my sig fit any e46 and e90? Searching for a new one and would love to keep my BBS's... lots of possibilities out there, looking from a 2003 ZHP through a 2007 330/335/328 maybe even a 325 if I can find a nice manual tranny.

Since they are 17" I figured unless they are highly incompatible, I should be able to use them on both families without any mods to the body.

From my observation, the offset on factory E90 non-M wheels is ~13mm lower than the E46. For example, an E46 staggered 18 (8F, 8.5R) might have ET47, ET50, whereas a comparable set from the E90 will have ET34, ET37. You'd likely need or want to run spacers.

There shouldn't be a need to run spacers. The BBS' are ET38, which is in the compatible range in the middle of E9x fitment it seems.

I don't think that extra 4mm is going to matter much.

You're right, I meant to erase the "need to" and just say "want to." Aesthetically it'll be pretty tucked, but functionally should be a-okay.

So putting mine in an e90 will look more like an ATV than a track car LOL... But in all honesty, will any normal person tell the difference unless they stare at it? I'd think aesthetically 13mm is pretty negligible? More importantly what about the center of gravity for handling etc.... Will there be any difference there?

Hi guys,

I really like the looks of these wheels but I'm not quite sure they would fit. Any feedback is appreciated

They are the ESR Wheels SR08 Style https://esrwheels.com/products/sr08
I'm looking at getting the 18 x 8.5 with et30. I'm thinking about running a square set, I have stock Sport suspension at the moment. I dont really want to deal with rolling of fenders either. Will these fit?

Thanks guys!

Any thoughts on 18x9 ET30 ARC-8 fitting up front and rear, guys?

Another poster on this board runs a set of EC-7 @ 18x9 ET42 (255/35 tire) and a moderate drop (H&R Sport) with no issues. Square ET30 *might* be too much without a roll or pull.

Looks like not many people have tried it, but I'm thinking it would work with a 235 tire. This guy (http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=1111307) managed with a 245/35 and some rolling/extra camber. You might want to contact Apex and ask them about it since they advertised these as a concave non-m fitment that didn't require fender rolling or extra camber.

Oh here's another dude (http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=790414&page=12) that pulled it off. Not sure what tire size.

I don't recall seeing that. I think somebody contacted them and they recommended the flat version.

Thanks guys, I'll look into it. Also considering BW TE:AL 18x9, which BW claims will fit ET 27 up front ET 42 rear.

Bumping this back up...Tire Rack is telling me I'll need to roll the rear fenders with this setup (stock ZHP suspension). Based on reading through this thread it seems like this should work but would appreciate any feedback from folks who have run this.

Front: 18x8.5 ET35; 225/40ZR-18
Rear: 18x9.5 ET40; 255/35ZR-18

Friend asked me if I wanted his wheels. VMR701 19x8.5 ET35, 19x9.5 ET45. Anyone run/ran this setup? Sedan with stock suspension.

Yep. I have 18x9.5 ET45 rears (255/35R18 PSS) and with a 5mm spacer I’ll rub. With 3mm+rear passengers I’ll rub. And I’m at -2° rear camber.

Thanks. I forgot to update here. Picked up some EC-7s this weekend.

I'm looking at upgrading my suspension to Koni Yellow + Eibach Pro kits, I'm currently on stock ZHP wheels with tire sizes: F:235/40/18 and R: 265/35/18.

Additionally, I have Z4m FCABS which added a bit of caster to the front wheels, Will i need to roll my fenders or RUB?

[sillieidiot]

I think you will be fine. Drops like an 1" ish. Stock wheels have high offsets as well so it doesn't stick out of the fender far enough to become a problem.

Looking at a set of OE style 393 rims locally for a good deal as a winter set. They come mounted with blizzaks, size is 225/50/17. Rim size is 17x7.5, ET37. Any issues with fitment on these?

For reference, I just put these on my car for winter. I like the fitment, not bad for $300 (rims and tires) on FB marketplace. Tires were off the rims so had to take it to tireshop to mount. Just came back from there, they put them on the car and no issues.

I believe they come off an F30 3 series so shouldnt be hard to find used sets
