I'm going to guess no
The 18x9.5" ET43 will need a 15mm wheel spacer to clear the Z4's front strut. You may be able to sneak by with a 12mm wheel spacer depending on the size tire that you use and your current suspension. If you have coilovers installed with a Linear race spring that is 6" or shorter with the spring perch above the tire it could be possible but a safe bet would the 15mm spacer. Regardless the 18x9.5" ET43 will need camber plates to fit and you would be much better off with our 18x9.5" ET35 because there is no need for spacers with the ET35's lower offset.
