Fitment help for new Z4

Hello everyone,

I will soon get my first Z4 and want to upgrade the wheels asap. I used search and tried to do the necessary math myself, but wasn't 100% sure so thought maybe somebody here can help me out. Don't want to have any rubbing happen. :S

The model is 2005 E85 3.0 and the car is running Eibach pro springs.

The rims I'm looking at the moment are:
Front: 19" 8.5 ET33
Rear: 19" 9.5 ET38

Would they fit without any rubbing and what size tires would you recommend?
Should I add spacers somewhere to get the wheels be even with the side of the car? I've added a picture for reference about how far I would like them to be.

Would be hugely thankful if somebody can help me out. Will post pictures when done.

Welcome.
Do a bit of research to educate yourself so an informed decision can be made.

First plug the last 7 digits of your VIN into RealOem. This is an invaluable tool whilst still available. https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/select

Search under wheels for your OEM wheel. The wheel size and offset is noted for each wheel available for your year of car.

Plug those numbers into this calculator. https://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Wheel-Offset-Calculator

From there you should be able to determine figment from there.

Good luck and happy motoring.
