Do Z4 wheels fit the Z3?

The Z3 is fitted with 17" staggered wheels. Will E85 (or even E89) 18" or 19" wheels fit without problems?

Many people fit the style 108 wheels from a Z4 (E85) and these are 18" dia.

UH, I don't think all Z3's are fitted with staggered wheels, am I incorrect? Mine has the style 18 wheel and they don't seem to be staggered to me.

There's a million different permutations on Z3s now due to the age, staggered, square 16, 17, 18 & 19 inch wheels ..........

Only way to see what it had from factory is to enter your Vin. No. in a decoder service.

I was just saying not all Z3s come with staggered wheels. Technicality but perhaps a more accurate statement?

You’re absolutely correct, not all did come with staggered wheel sizes, but mainly, I believe, in the small engine models. What sizes are the tyres on your Z3?Front and rear?

First question: Yes

Second question: This will depend on the offset of the wheels. You can fit 17/18/19" wheels on a z3 but the offset will decide weather it will rub or not.

My car is a 98 with a 2.8. Wheels are Currently running 225/50-16 wheels and style 18 wheels in 7x16 size. But it was hardly a bottom base unit having heated seats, HK stereo with CD changer in the trunk and power top. Not the coveted M of course but a nice ride I think.

I would think that in the UK that car would have been delivered on a staggered wheel set up being a 2.8 and as you rightly say a well specced car.

Tony,
I have no experience with UK spec cars. I do know the M came with staggered wheels but not so much the standard 2.8 or smaller cars. I suppose some are in existence but I would suspect they were ordered that way.... hard to say!

E89 17" Style 276, "square set up" on my Zed. Offset ET29. I have since fitted 20mm spacers on the rear, no spacers on the front. Rears and fronts are in line with arches.
