Wheel Fitment Help

Post by Bench »

Front: 8J x 18 RS744 ET20
BMW part number: 1094379
Rear: 9J x 18 RS740 ET24
BMW part number: 1094380

Can these be made to fit a zed?

I understand that the rears will have some poke but hoping that with the neg camber they might go. Thefronts on the other hand i worry they migh tbe a bit much especially as they will need spacers to get over the coilvoers.

Any help would be much appreciated.

You may just get away with those.

The fronts will extend 27mm futher than OEM

The rears will extend 23mm further than OEM

Post pics if you get them ;)

Well got the wheels today, they had some wide tyres on, 265 rear and 235 front.

Rears will go on however going to drop it down to 245 so i can wind the coilovers down, fronts however have too much poke. The tyres on were 235/40/R18.

I was thinking of going for a 225/35/R18, i know that changes the rolling radius slightly but not sure how else to do it. Advice would be good, not against a bit of stretch if thats whats needed.
