The 17's have enough barrel clearance for the 355mm stoptechs. We test fit 17x9's on my friends 335i after installing a 6 piston 355mm stoptech kit. The car needed a spacer for strut tube clearance, which provided caliper to spoke clearance as well. I'm not sure if a spacer is needed on the front of the Z4M. The smaller the diameter the closer the barrel/tire is to the strut, and most BMW's don't have this issue with 18" wheels, but they do with 17's. So I can't comment with 100% certainty at this time. But it sounds very do-able.
