Staggered 19s on 2003 3.0 Sport, will I rub?

Hello all. Fist time poster here. I have a 2003 Black/Black 3.0i Sports Package that I've owned for about 3 years now. I have done nothing to it since I purchased it and I've decided to give it a new pair of shoes... 19 inchers!

I searched the forums extensively and I couldn't find any definitives on whether or not my steup would work... so here it goes.

I ordered a staggered set of silver/gunmetal Miro m6 Replicas (surprise surprise eh?). The specs are:

Front: 19 x 8.5 Offset ET 35
Rear: 19x 9.5 Offset ET 40

I'm considering buying the following tires:
Front: 235/35/19
Rear: 235/30/19

Currently, my wheel/tire combo is:
Front: 18 x 8.0 ET 47 225/40/18
Rear: 18 x 8.5 ET 50 255/35/18

Does anybody have any similar setups on their non-M (yet sports package) Z4? If so, how does it handle? Any rubbing? I'm asking b.c the guy that ordered from said that out of all the 19 inch m6 replica orders he placed for z4 owners, only 1 had rubbing problems. Perhaps this was b/c the vehicle was in an accident and something was out of whack in the front, or they had an aftermarket suspension which lowered the car too much. I don't know, but I figured this would be the best place to ask.

When it's all said and done and if hopefully no problems arise, I'll post some before and after photos.

Thanks,
Chris
