FWIW, I have Apex wheel/tire specs and pics from kklin's Z4 M Coupe for SCCA BSP (road tire) that you might extrapolate from.

Is there significantly more risk of damage between the 18" and 19"?

I have a '03 3.0i with the sport/perf package and factory suspension. Using http://www.rimsntires.com/specs.jsp, I came up with these set ups:

Apex ARC-8
Front:
Tire - 225/40R18
Wheel - 18x8.5 ET38
Difference - 9mm (.4")

Rear:
Tire - 255/35R18
Wheel - 18x9.0 ET42
Difference - 8mm (.3")

VMR V718
Front:
Tire - 225/35R19
Wheel - 19x8.5 ET45 CB72.6 5x120
Difference - 2mm (.1")

Rear:
Tire - 255/30R19
Wheel - 19x9.5 ET45 CB72.6 5x120
Difference - 5mm (.2")

Thanks!
