I was on 245/275 set up on my old ones but bought 235/265 for the new ones, I ran 245 fronts with 12mm hub centric spacers and they were fine, under full lock they'd catch a little, so don't do full lock !
you got some then ?

Debating it.
They're £1200, but with "good tread" on the Michelin Cup Pilot Sport tyres (which I don't know much about and haven't researched yet and seem to be odd sizes), however one of the rears has had a puncture repaired, so I'm a bit sceptical.
The owner also says they need a refurb.
Effectively if a refurb is ~£400 and I'll need to get new tyres (not sure on running with a repair) it'll take me up to the cost of a new set anyway, so I'm hesitating in pulling the trigger. If they didnt need a refurb or new tyres I'd have gone for it by now.
They are also up north, and the guy won't courier so would need £70 in petrol to run the Astra up to collect them.
A lot of skepticism from me as you can tell.
Starting with £1,200 plus refurb, plus tyres, plus £70 quid fuel = too much.
I nearly got a set that needed a refurb for £1,100. They had cup sport tyres on them but only 3mm which was too low IMO. However I believe sup sport tyres only have around 5mm from new.
Lepsons refurb price would be £312 all in if no tyres fitted. I paid £240 for mine in Crawley with tyres fitted.

It's the refurb bit that could be worrying, dependant how bad,my old ones had some rash and I repaired them myself and resprayed, quite easy really and enjoyed the process, on another note I sold that set with very good Goodyear Aysm 2's for £1200, if they're not too bad they could be worth a punt, I'm up't North so could collect to help out with the carriage costs by meeting up at some point?
I like the goodyears tbh, not a problem for my driving, I've put PS2's ( or 3's maybe? Can't remember, it's been a few months since I've seen them ) on the new ones but I've not put them on the car yet, will do in spring, but bought those on various tyre reviews tbh Adam 
i used to run the tyre sizes the CSL actually ran..... 235/265.... if its good enough for the csl its defo good enough for the z4m..... never regretted that decision once and let me tell you driven hard i managed to get those conservative sizes to rub very very very slightly on the fender liner on a very rare occasion.
Adamski said:I'd want to see them rotate to make sure there are no buckles etc..... you might not spot with the wheel being stationary, as I've recently found out
TBH I think any of these used will have some damage in the form of flat spots or buckling. I had this sorted when mine were refurbed.
With the state of our roads, wheel widths and low profiles it's inevitable.
