That's not true, you can fit wider or narrower tyres to a rim.
I hardly think it's likely I've gone and put 255/35 rubber on a front wheel that I've mistakenly then put on the rear when it should be 225/40 and on the front... I think it's fairly obvious it's the correct tyre.

surely it's just the angle of the picture
Not sure, but given that he says himself:AB said:
I think I need some spacers, the wheels should not bury themselves in the arches like that!
Its not unreasonable to suggest reasons why he might have an issue. You don't need spacers for the correct size 108's, they should fit in the arch just fine and look fine. So it's either totally fine in RL and the picture is just showing it as looking a bit weird due to the angle, or it's a front wheel by mistake, IMHO

I didn't say you should, only that its possible. His rear wheels look to be fronts with the rear size tyres on.

I would say so.
A simple image search for "z4 108" shows that it seems pretty normal. It's emphasised on mine due to it being lowered. So when I said they shouldn't be like that, I didn't mean something was wrong I meant that IMO they shouldn't because it looks turd. Spacers would make it look better.

Currently driving a 2004 E64 645ci Convertible although looking to sell up shortly and try a Z3 2.8 V8 conversion! Could be interesting
Really looking forward to getting stuck in here and I'm sure that our BMW Enthusiasts site can support various PH meets along the way

Bought this last weekend, but my wife is going to buy it off me.
2000 330Ci. 129K miles with FSH. Has the shadowline gloss around windows which would have been rare at the time, but doesnt date the car as much as chrome might.
MV2's have been fitted at some point, and all the lenses have been upgraded to clear ones. The rear lights have been upgraded to the later LED (?) type off 2005 / 2006 cars.
Overall it hides its age well. The only other thing we're doing is changing the head unit to a CD player - got one today out of an 05 m3 for it.

Clearly financing a cheapie like this one doesnt make sense, as she probably wont keep it that long anyway.

Do us a favour, ensure you can afford to run it... otherwise you'll be adding to the long list of fked up 8's.
i reckon the average ownership length for most 8's must be about 6 months. People are lured in by the amazing attraction and cheap purchase costs (£5k will buy you a good'n)... only to then realise you need £5k p.a. to run one (or a very good connection with a used BMW parts supplier/breaker)!ked up 8's.
