That's a great size

Tbh you could run 265/30/19 Cups all round with those rim sizes without camber issues.

Alternatively run 285 rears and 265 fronts

Before you rush to spend your money
I would check the wheelspoke 'X' factor
on the E9X M3 Wheels..

9 J at ET 31 with a Big Brake Kit, will be
close, so if needing spaces to clear calipers
then wheels maybe sticky outy.

Good point Mr Monkey.....




But I still can't work out why a man of your obvious talent can't work out how to do "quotes" properly

i saw a couple of sets of ZCP on E92 today up close next to the CSL.

Would be a good little option but i am just a bot worried that front OEms wont fit CSL.

CSL rims are 8.5J and et 44 which make the outside of the rim about 64mm out from the hub face.

ZCP front rims are 9.0J et 31 so are 83.3mm out from the hub face.

im not sure there is 19mm of flexibility before you hit the wheel arch? If you added the standard 12mm spacer that would make the ZCp only sitting 7.3mm further out.

CSL rears fited to the fornt stick out 94mm from the hub and thye only fit at -3 camber.

My 18 inch rims Volks stick out 87mm from the hub face and thye clear the wheel arch and liner so maybe just ok.

Proably will depend what tyres you fit!



I really do fancy a set of these

I'd of had them if you hadn't got in first.....


but then it seems they weren't really for sale at all


you just can't get the staff anymore

[shimmy]

So got them fitted today and can hardly tell the difference .....

BMW ZCP Competition Rims
REAR - 19 x 10J et25 (fitted 3mm spacers) with 265/30/19 Michelin PSS
FRONT - 19x 9J et31 (no spacers) with 235/35/19 Michelin PS2

Tyres are a little more stretched than on CSL rims but not too bad. Cleared front AP callipers with enough room for NorthernJims dick to fit between, no rubbing.
