wheel fitment advice

[stoney]

Sorry if this question has been asked before, I have done a search but im getting confused,will these wheel sizes fit my car, front 18"x 8" et 35, rears 18" x 9" et 30 ,will spacers be required.

Cheers

yes will fit but the rear would benefit from a spacer 15 or 20mm to look right , ideally you would have slightly wider than OEM fitment i.e 8.5 f & 9.5 r

As Dave says will fit but the rears are a little narrow and offset high (hence spacers required).

Z3m's really do benefit from wide tyres (so they look mean from the back lol) and as deep a dish look as possible. There are not many cars you can fit a low offset wheel on like the Z3m so always seems a shame when people fit high offset rear wheels and loose the dish ;-)

I may be biased but I'd be looking at these at 18"! The fronts won't work without some camber though, but the rears will go on and look nice with a 10mm space (ET5 effective). Would just need to source some 18x8 ET35/40 fronts.

Personally I don't think 18x9 is wide enough for the back to look right IMO, especially if it's a high offset like 30.

Thanks for the replies,now im thinking i will have my own spare set refurbished as i dont want to be putting on wheels that are not right.
Cheers guys.

Now mate things are great thanks, been very busy with work and moved house in feb this year,car has only done 2000 miles in the last 2 years, ive been looking at having a different set of wheels,i think your right there is not enough dish on the rears,the set of bbs lms for sale on here would be great but out of my price league at the moment.
your car looks well on the pictures from silverstone.
