Wheel fitment Z3 M Coupe / Roadster

[insider]

I was wondering if anyone here have more experience mounting these wheels on a Z3 M Coupe / Roadster

19x8.5 +32 w/ 245/35/19
19x10 +25 w/ 275/30/19

I know I need to run spacers in the rear, but do i need to trim wheel wells in the front and / or roll fenders in the rear?

Thx for any help you can provide. :)

My cousin had similar spec 19's on his cosmos m coupe...It looked sweet and all. He had to run such a low profile tire though and he felt every single rock on the road. I drove it a few times and it also felt like it slowed the car up quite a bit. He finally decided to put the stock ones back and and he's been nothing but happy. I've always personally been weary of putting anything bigger than 18 on the e36 platform. GL!

The front offset is very low for the car. You are going to have to do some fender work to make it fit.

What if I went with 19x8.5 +32 w/ 235/35/19 in the front?

Problem is that there's no front fender to speak of. On the Z3 there is only a shroud then the hood comes on top.

I think you would be ok with the 235/35R19. Depending on the tire and your alignment it is going to be tight.
If I can help let me know.
