Hi Charles,

they would fit, but are you sure that you want to buy replica wheels in Europe? I guess you will get problems with the technical approval (MOT/ MFK).

For 8.5 235/35 R19 would be the perfect tire size
For 9.5 265/35 R19 would be the perfect tire size

I wouldn't take wider tires, because they will influence the tachimeter accuracy. Especially in Switzerland, this would be very dangerous because of the very high penalties.

Why don't you take the M437 wheels from the actual M4?
They have a comparable look but they are OEM BMW.
In Germany they are very in vogue for the Z4 at the moment:

Those do look good. I did not know that replicas would not pass inspection? Find it odd as you see many cars with non standard OEM wheels here in Geneva.

You need some technical approval papers for the inspection, don't you? There will be no papers coming with replica wheels. So no chance to get the technical approval.
Of course you get technical approval papers for supplier brands like e.g. BBS. These suppliers have ISO-Standards, which grants you a good quality. Those cheap replica no-name wheels from ebay often do not have any papers, because these suppliers can't grant you any Quality standards. That they do not have to produce according to any quality standards, you can see in the price...

Aluminum-rims are security relevant parts - I personaly would not trust in any of these no name and non iso certified suppliers...
