E9X M3 Series ZCP wheels on E46 CSL?

[$w!ft]

Have you ever thought about using these ZCP 359M style wheels which are used on M3 competition package models for a CSL? Anyone got any pics?












What do you think?

[shane@mbtech]

Go outside, look at your CSL, I think they will look the same:hahaha:

[$w!ft]

I've uploaded a picture next to a CSL rim lawsy (second to last), the wheel is much more aggressive in fitment, the offset is lower, so it should fill the wheel arch very well

Its pretty much what I want, maintain stock CSL appearance but much more aggressive fitment

[Pooky]

Those E92 wheels are 10J x 19 ET25 vs the CSL of 9.5J x 19 ET27

So the outside face will be 8mm further outboard.

[shane@mbtech]

I know I was kidding.

They should look good. :thumbs:

More aggressive than csl, but they are about £1600 new, and dont come up 2nd hand that often.

wheel spacers...cheap option

i may be missing the point but 15mm spacers all round would give a similar look for a fraction of the cost?
That said i've seen the wheels on the frozen grey E92 and they do look mint.:thumbs:

haha ok

Well I want to get a second set of rims but like the CSL look, so these seem like a perfect match!

otherwise there are these which are pretty much the same design but more aggressive fitment

and what are the front sizes compared to CSL OEM?

Fronts are 9J ET31, vs the CSL 8.5J ET44

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

Hi,

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
