Those aren't ideal for the Z4M , the rears would fit but your stock 255 40 rear will not be great on a 10j rim & not sure id want to go more
I recently had Arc 8s on my lowered M roadster
fronts 8.5j et 35 with 235 40 18 tyres
rears 9.5j et 22 with 255 40 18 tyres

I run a 265/40r18 on a standard 224m rear, and the tyre rubs a rear 6” section of the inside liner away on the near side, and about 2” of the front of the liner on the offside.

But I believe Michelin PSS are quite a ‘wide’ tyre for its 265 width, so a different brand may work fine.
