Aggressive M3 Fitment work on Z4M?

What is the lowest offset at Z4M? For example can an aggressive M3 Fitment work on Z4M? Something like 19x8.5 +32 offset and 19x10 + 20...

10 inch rears with a 20mm offset is too close. I would go with 25mm offset. I mounted a set of 18x10 ET25 with 285/30-18 cup tires and they rubbed slightly inside the well on the plastic. I had to go with 265/35-18's instead. A 20mm offset I am affraid might be really close. It would probably work, but you would likely have to cut away some plastic on the inside of the wheel well.

Thanks for the feedback. Was going for extra deep lip. The tires would be 275/30 so I'm hoping they would fit.

Anybody else?

So how does 10.5 with ET25 compare to 10.0" ET20? Which would stick out further?

try the offset calculator: http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

it says you get 11mm more inner clearance and 1mm on the outer side with a 10" ET20 compared to 10.5" ET25
