Offset for non M Z4 3.0

I'm looking to buy 19' M6 wheels for 3.0i Z4.
After I read the forum I found out that I need to buy 8.5 offset 35 for the front, and 9.5 offset 40 for the rear.
But I found a good deal with the same offset for the front but ofset of 30 for the rear.
I'd like to know if it's possible to fit 9.5 offset 30 in the rear?

Thanks,

Thanks,
I think you may have rubbing issues. I have 18x9.5 in the rear with a 43 offset and the wheel extends past the slightly the fender lip. I also have the sport suspension which lowers the body approx 0.5" from stock and use the factory size tires (255/35 rear). I have no problems with rubbing at all.

A 30 offset will move the wheel out approx 0.5" more then mine, and depending on your ride height and tire size/profile I think you'll end up rubbing when your suspension compresses. One thing to consider is that a number of non M cars are using the factory M wheels (based on posts) without problems or with only minor rubbing. The M rears are 18x9 with a 30 offset, your proposed wheels would extend out another 0.25".

Thanks, I don't like to have rubbing issues, so I'm not going with 9.5 offset 30 in the rear.
