4.75”

120.65mm

They’re the same.

I’m actually running BMW-spec 120mm O.Z. Racing 18x9” 6.57” backspace wheels on my Tempest. The Moser axles were custom made as well as my front wheel adapters to accept the 120mm rear Z4 roadster wheels. They’re fairly lightweight for a cast aluminum wheel at 20.8 pounds.
