I was just wondering if these wills with:

Front - 8Jx18, 225/45 ZR18
Rear - 9Jx18, 255/40 ZR18

will fit my Z3 which has the standard wider arches with no rubbing etc?

Cheers

you haven't put the wheel offsets, you won't have issues with the width; infact you could even go 9.5j on the rear with ease.

The offset is the factor which will determine whether they will fit or not...

Hi thanks for the reply, googled and found with the standard 17s on my z3 2.8, the offset is 41mm front and back, so what do you think i could go up to without any rubbing on standard suspension cheers.

well ive done 8.5x19 et40 front and 9.5x19 et45 rear on a normal body z3 using 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 tyres.

if your car is say an inch or so wider i would say you may be able to use et25 off of a e46 m3 for example but without seeing or having measurements i wouldn't be able to give you an exact answer.
