BMW M3 E46 18" OEM RIMS 18x8F, 18x9R

I am a compete noob when it comes to wheels. I got a steal on the m3 18" and wish to put them on my 03 sport z4. Will they fit? Rub? spacers? please help!

Offsets are much lower on the M3 rear wheels than on Z4 stocks. They'll stick out about an inch further - you may or may not have rubbing issues. Fronts should be fine though.

Thanks. That's what I was thinking. Is there anything i can do to prevent rubbing in the rear? I was thinking about rolling my fenders but that seems like a bit much.

You could always find a second set and mount the fronts on both your front and rear....
