Oh dear I'm in love 
Crikey, those are a bit serious vanne! I'd expect you'll be fine height wise with 19" in a 355mm disc. Aren't you tempted to go larger? Spacers may be necessary though, you could probably work it out with a template. Worth checking the M3 forums for more info, never seen anyone running these on a Z. Is the kit for m3 or Z4, if it's m3 you may need to shim either bracket or disc. Aren't these puppies like 7K or something?

Morning buddy
Forgot to at say to you
I mocked mine all up before spraying
And needed 3mm minimum spacers
Went for 5mm h&r hubcentric
With h&r longer bolts and longer lock nuts

My point
Yeah Tom, these part numbers are Z4M specific.
Currently running 10 mill hubcentrics already in the front, and with the camber i am running these days, can probably nicely fit 15mm. Will see how it all fits together.. Should hopefully receive them sometime next month. I also have a Rogue Engineering Strut brace coming. (at least its a proper strut brace)
Glad the report on these are good, though I've been told to get specific track and road pads as the track pads squeal like hell.
I had to split the payment through 2 months so the missus wouldn't notice.
D4awg, can't wait to see what your looks and goes like mate, not only that man, but i do LOVE the front floaters, I think they are some of the best OEM rotors I've ever used, and if you have got some way of using them with a improved front claw, even better, like i said, can't wait to see how it goes/looks.
Really looking forwards to this, sadly i recon its gonna come to late as this is the last ... operational .. month of the season.. its already getting too bloody hot here...
hope they are fit without hassles and expecting great things from the bias.
Pretty much the only reason i got these is as Turn 1 on my local club track is a very high speed straight into downhill right hander, and my last session, i saw one of the meet cars pretty much brake fade and just missed the wall at some very impressive and shorts staining speeds.

Dear God do have any social skills?
Point is that I thought mine would fit
Turns out they needed spacers and bolts
So WHAT THE ( speaking slowly here) POINT IS
IS THAT HE CAN MOCK HIS UP ON THE BRACKETS AND SEE IF FIT WHEN PUTS A WHEEL ON
FFS
Yeah I'm sure he hadn't thought to use the template that comes with the calipers to work that out. :-D
As for my social skills, perhaps they don't fit well with people like you, I couldn't really care less.
Back on topic, vanne why did you not go for the 380mm front disk? Isn't that standard for the M3/Z4M kit, fits under 19"??

Wowzers! You could have had a 991 gt3 for the dollar you've spent on your car...a little crazy but kudos to you sir!
Those are "bad" and you have raised the bar a lot.
Thanks guys for the nice comments. The only reason I didn't go for the 380mm is that if I decide later on to run 18's on the track, I wont be able to with 380mm rotors. That was pretty much the only reason. :icecream:
Couple of other things have just come my way... the missus is NOT gonna be happy... :hairdryer:

Thanks Byron. Yeah car is going to change a bit over the next few months, kinda bought them as a pressie to myself for staying in the pit a wee while longer. Pretty much done now as long as my /other/ package gets here in one piece. Hmm, kinda said I was pretty much done last year too... 
Only other thing that needs doing is my steering wheel, gotta get that refurbed in Alcantara with 12 o'clock stripe.
