So my AC wheels are surprisingly 8.5J all round. The recommended tyre sizes for those are between 225 min - 255 max. Currently have 4x 225 on.

My standard z3 wheels which are staggered have 225 front and 245 rears.
So I should be able to put the tyres off these wheels onto the a.c.schnitzer wheels! Yes?

Does anyone know how wide the rear staggered wheels are? I assume 9J? Could I put 225s on the rear staggered alloys?
Basically swap the tyres from one to another.

@Davyhoogy my account wheels are as yours non staggered but I have 225 45 17 on front and 245 40 17 rear and they fit fine.
The sidewall on the rears is slightly wider than the rim but the advantage is that it gives some protection from kerbing.
No prob swoping tyres to your new wheels.
