ZSP with 17" ok?

335iPaul · 02-08-2009, 05:17 PM

I may pick up the ZSP suspension off someone but still have the 17" OEM wheels. Is this going to cause a problem putting the ZSP on my car with the 17's?

Also thinking of putting the H&R sport springs on instead of the springs that come with the ZSP, any thoughts on this?

No problem. It'll work fine. I have 17s with my winter tires on my sport suspension now.

Ahh, didn't even think about the people running 17's for winter. I plan on getting some 18's later and using the 17's for winter as well.

No uneven wear from camber problems on your winters?

the only issue I had finding winter 17s was with my 335 brakes...they're huge. Finally got a pair of 17s with enough room though...

Sorry about that. I didn't notice you had a 335 and therefore have different brakes. Sounds like you should look closely before picking up the 17s.

I currently have 17s. The car did not have the ZSP on it when originally purchased. I will be buying the ZSP to put on now with the OEM 17s that came with the car. I will then be purchasing the 18s in about another year.

All good ideas. You'll have no problems.

Some 17s fit the 335i brakes, some don't. I know the Kosei K1 wheels fit, but they are ugly as sin. More than a few people use them on the 335i, but mostly for track or drag strip use.

Yep.
they even fit over my Rotora 6 pistons, but barely.
