Question Help with Offset upgrading Rims BMW e92!

Hi everybody,

I am willing to upgrade the rims of my BMW e92 330d, '08.

Currently I have OEM Styling 187 with these characteristics:

Front: 8J x 17'', ET34 225/45/R17
Rear: 8J x 17'', ET34 225/45/R17

Would like to upgrade to Styling 325 (from BMW Z4) with characteristics:

Front: 8J x 18'', ET29 225/40/R18
Rear: 8,5J x 18'', ET40 255/25/R18

My question is if they will fit perfectly fine;

Checked with compatibility calculators, for Rear they say it will be the same, for Front they say the outside edge will extend 5mm.

I also wanted to know what you guys think about this new configuration, any thoughts are welcome!

It will fine. Z4 and 3 series are interchangeable. Front will push out a little more (8mm), but will be perfectly acceptable with no rubbing. I have 12mm spacers on the front an that rubs sometimes but z4 offsets are fine

Thanku for your reply!! Do I need to install any accessory or directly take off the current ones and put on the new ones?
