No problem. I posted in the "wheels" section rather than photos section because I thought there might be some technical discussion around fitment. Keep "derailing" as needed!

Are you appealing the class for the Z4M? I may run a 255/35 265/35 set up at some point.

Does anyone know if 17" Wheels will fit? The only problem is that I'll be forced to run staggered

Yes, they will fit. There's a 17 x 9.5 ET35, and a 17 x 10 ET25.
Colakitty is running 17s (but 10.5 rear). I wonder if there are any concerns with the larger sidewall, flex, and tire movement? Sidewall design, and rim width would help manage this though.

Thanks. Yes, lots of variables. But worth thinking through, along with objectives and needs, to get the best fit and performance.
