it looks like they will fit according to the filter on the page, but it also depends on the offset.

It definitely would depend on the offsets. An offset between 35 - 40 for both front and rear sounds about right. But regardless, those seem like pretty aggressive tire widths, and may cause rubbing if you plan on lowering your car. It looks like your car is just a standard 2.5i withough sport suspension, so rubbing may not be an issue, but I would probably go 235/25/19 front and 265/30/19 rear just to be on the safer side.

Go with 235/35/19 & 265/30/19 like mister_roger said.

Upsizing wheels/tires - Height adjust necessary?

Is the Sport Z4 roadster lowered (like my Sport E90) and if so how much lower than the non-sport?

Reason I ask is when/if I upsize the wheels/tires will they look strange if nothing is changed with the non-sport suspension? As far as I can tell the lower sidewall heights on the larger tires on 17" or 18" rims doesn't change the overall diameter much more than an inch or so. Have I got that right?

Here's a handy wheels spec calculator to help you figure our the effect of width and offset.

The original values are those of the Z4 M Coupe so you will have to change them to those of a standard Z4 and then play with the values in blue to compare with aftermarket offerings.
