Question Will E90 rims fit Z4 (E86) on offset (esp on fronts)?

Anyone tried fitting rims from E90 (17s) with 34 offset on their Z4s? Z4 coupes?

Mainly concerned over the front fender, the calculations show wheel will poke out by 13mm. It seems like it would be catching the front fenders on depressions. What do you guys think? I saw someone runing 162s but not sure anymore.... Help?

Whats the width and tire size?

edit: Didnt see the 162 part. Its def been done. 8" wide with 34 offset is not too aggresive at all with a 225 tire. You can roll the fenders just to be safe depending how low you are but I know for a fact you wont poke. I ran 8.5 et 15 and that was flush with a 215 tire.

that looks bad for me, i had 225/45-18 which are taller than stock and they rubbed like crazy on bumps, but here the issue will be poke, not overall tyre diameter. hmm... based on that pic im on the fence.

my suspesion is stock M sport. And Im not sure I can roll fronts, they are plastic, no?
