Just after some advice on wether I have got this correct for a stock NA zed

Anybody fitted these wheels?

 

Rota GTR

Front 8.5"x18" ET30

Rear 9.5"x18" ET30

 

Stock brakes and suspension.

Thanks guys.

They will fit, you shouldn't have any front caliper clearance issues, although it would look much nicer with 10mm spacers up front giving you an effective ET20 offset. The rears will fit nicely. Have you considered fitting 9.5" GTRs up front to get the concave spoke design all round?

Didn't think 9.5" up front would fit, don't want any tyre clearance issues on lock, and would loose the staggered setup, unless I went bigger on rear? Decisions decisions.

have to say staggered looks well better than all the same side. I know on the z3 I had with staggered wheel set up the car wanted to go in a straighter line. when the bmw e36 me came out thay tramlined a few bit the late m3 e36 and m3 e46 all used a staggered wheel set up it wasn't just for grip with it being rear wheel drive it helped the car push its self more straight I sent 2 years messing with the z3 z m3 and can say the staggered wheel set up is much better all round

Your right, it would be close to the arch on lock, although based on a comparison to mine using an offset calculator, I 'should' clear! Going wider on the rear using the Rota GTR isn't an option unfortunately as the offsets aren't compatible for your requirements.

I tend to agree with the staggered bit, I just like the concave spoke design - form/function!

 

Chris, I'm not far from you (nr Braintree) if you want a visual of what my offsets look like? I currently have 8.5" ET22 front and 9.5" ET25 rear. They're not ROTA GTRs but they will give you an idea.

Thanks for info guys, wheels ordered for Friday. :biggrin:
