Okay, I'm back from doing a Euro delivery and it's time to put on some wheels on this bad gal.

TSW Mirabeau's (You have to scroll down to a little above the middle of the page to find them with the above link)
Front: 19x8 Offset: 35
Rear: 19x9.5 Offset: 42

TSW recommends I go 255/30/19 all the way around for tires, but what does Z4 Forum say?

Car looks great & those shoes should look a treat on :)
Tyres ? No way go 255 on 8j rim & you may find once fitted that the fronts sit better with 10mm spacers
There are a few choices sizewise , personally i would go 255 35 19 or 265 35 19 rears as for me 30s is not enough
Fronts 225 40 19 or possibly 235 35 19
3 ZMRs
3 E89s
5 Si coupes
5 Si roadsters
997 C4
TTRS
F82 M4
MK7 Golf Gti
current Bmw 6 Gran Turismo

Thank you for your help again Mr Wilks. I was hoping you would respond!

Front 225 40 19 & Rear 255 35 19 is what I will look for. That will save me a little money as well since the 30's are super expensive for a set of 4.

Here is my goal:
