Will these fit a Z4M?

Edit: Looking for a winter set. Would Style 106 wheels (17x8, 47mm offset) fit the Z4MR? I am assuming I can mount 225/50R17s on the rims (correct?)

This is an example of the wheels

17" rims may or may not clear the front calipers on the M, it all depends on the design of the inner barrel. There is probably no way to tell in advance unless you test them yourself or you find someone that has already done so with those exact rims. And if they do clear the calipers, it is going to be so tight that any wheel weights will have to be clipped to the outside- weights on the inside of the barrel will just get flung off by the calipers. I know in the distant past, TireRack listed a couple of very specific 17" packages for the M that they had tested, not sure if they still do.

Thanks Dave! They do recommend a number of 17" wheels, which is why I thought these might work as well. I guess I'll just err on the side of caution and go with 18"!
