So i been offered some alloys that i believe are originally made for the Z4M... sizes are 8.5j 19" et29 for the front and 10j 19" et19 for the rear... i know i will need to use a 15mm spacer for the front, just wondering whether the rear will fit without rubbing? my 5 is on M sport suspension with m sport kit, but i am planning on lowering it 30mm... for rear tyres i was thinking a 255/35 or 275/30... i know people run oem m6 9.5 19" et17 on the rear, so these rims are half an inch wider but with 3mm less et but still not sure it will fit without rubbing? Thanks...

rear is fine even with 10" rim. You also do not need to run 15mm spacer up front. 10mm is ideal unless you're looking for it to be totally flush with the fender.

Post pics if you do get it.

really? I'm so glad to hear the rear will work... thought the combination of the 10j and et19 would make it too wide! yeah the rear is gonna be really flush so will most likely go with 15mm spacer for the front... Thanks for the reply rctmthouse

not sure about the drop but I know for sure some members here run 10" rear with similar offsets. With 10", you should run at least 285 or possibly 305 tires.
