BMW Z4 III (G29) — Wheel Fitment & Specs
Overview
The BMW Z4 (G29) is a roadster produced by German automobile manufacturer BMW. It was introduced in 2018 for the 2019 model year as a successor to the E89 Z4, marking the return of the soft-top roof to the Z Series sports cars. The G29 Z4 is based on the Toyota-BMW joint sports car architecture and features a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout with weight savings compared to its predecessor. It was assembled in Austria by Magna Steyr.

Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:
| Position | Width | Offset |
|---|---|---|
| Front | 8.5J–9J | ET25–ET36 |
| Rear (staggered) | 10J–10.5J | ET37–ET45 |
As a rule, each extra 1J of width wants roughly +8–10 ET to keep the wheel tucked. The exact offset and any spacer are confirmed by the fit-check.
UK popularity & demand
Based on DfT VEH0124 vehicle-parc data (2025), there are approximately 32,081 BMW Z4 on UK roads, placing it in the top 8% of car models by volume across our fitment database. That makes its wheel fitment a high-demand size to keep in stock — one reason we track its exact spec here.
