Wheel Help!

2DunnsZ3 · Dec 6, 2018

If you guys and gals haven't figured it out by now, I am a wheel nut! I think a good setup can make the Zed. I like the look of my wheels, but,, I want that staggered look with the wider dished look rim in the back that I can run a 245 or 255 on. I have a buyer for my 17" rims with 225 45 17 firestone . And I finally decided the look I want. It is the same wheel that Oldham1994 is running. So, if any one knows him, or knows what he is running{ wheel size, width{front and back, and tire size, I would love to know. thanks in advance for the help.

Looks similar to what Roy had on his @Rha

Yep they’re very much like the wheels on my old Z3 but mine were Japan racing JR 10 with 9.5in x18 and 35 offset rear, 8.5in x18 with 35 offset front, rear 245x40x18 tyre, and 225x40x18 front this gave a very slight stretched look and kept tyres just legally inside arch. Could fit a 10in on rear but the stretch on the tyre would IMO be OTT.
Here’s a couple of pics.

You can see more in Showcase Page 5 under RHAs Z3.

Mine are 18" BBS LM Style, staggered setup, they fill the arches perfectly.
Fronts - 8J ET35 running 225/40/18 tyres
Rears - 9J ET35 running 255/35/18 tyres plus 5mm spacers (bringing the offset down to 30)

Real nice wheels and somehow the red rims really compliments the overall colour scheme. That’s just the outside, let’s have a look at the interior cos when I last looked that was very tasty too. Love this Z3. :scorecard:
