I was wondering if anyone has run them yet? I am thinking no with the rear wheels et being so low, (I think they are like et 9 or so..) but thought I would ask. There is a set with 1 year old snow tires I can have for free, but I don’t think they are going work without looking ridiculous. Any insight would be great thanks!

I think most of the Roadster's wheels were fairly conservative like et47 or et46. That offset would be fine on the ZHP. Do you have anymore specific details about the wheels?

Z3 Throwing Stars would look cool...unsure about the offsets. I know the Z4 wheels will fit.

I just looked up the wheels et's.. They are style 40's the front are 17x7.5 et 41 and the rears (which I think will be a problem) are 17 x 9 et 8. The wheels would look good I am just concerned about this sticking out from the car, not really my style..

Agreed, especially with 9" rears.

Well, I had some extra time so I through on the set of M Roadster Style 40 wheels that I have laying around to see if they would work. Basically, yes they will work, however the rear will rub unless you have some serious fender rolling and if you are running some negative camber. They worked on my car but rubbed if I hit any kind of bump. This was on a stock suspension with 225/45/17 snow tires. Please dont mind the dirty car :) Anyways just through I would update this and the pictures are below, enjoy.

They were free.. they aren't my first choice, and if the rears would of fit they would not be horrible, it was more of just to see what they would look like for my snow tires.. currently only running the fronts for the time being..
