New wheels

Evening all, after little bit of advice on some alloys I'm tempted by, can anyone confirm if these will fit, I'm lowered on eibach pro springs, cars a 2003 2.5 e85, and did a deal just recently with a member on here for his 19" csl reps. They were fine before I installed the springs but now rub like a bitch, I think this is mainly due to them sitting outside the rear arch possibly due to the wheels fitted originally on an m.
I'd like to keep the tyres of these ideally (265 30 19) &. (235 35 19) and fit to new wheels, I'm not opposed to returning back to 18" wheels and tyres as I could always sell the 19" ones which would enable me to then get 18" wheels n tyres.
If these new ones won't be ok could someone point me in the right direction offset wise bearing in mind I've fitted eibach springs and can't b arsed to remove now :headbang: thanks in advance Baz

My car has been lowered on Eibachs and when I got my 19s the guy told me that the rear arch could take up to a 10.5 inch rim, fronts are fine with 8.5 inch. If you go for this set up I would suggest no larger than a 265 tyre on the rear 10 inch rim as you may get some rubbing under spirited driving. I would try get a 9.5 inch rear rim though just to make certain and they may well do that set up
 
Z4MO, Z4M's are different to normal Z4's.

I had 19x10's on the back of mine, lowered on eibachs springs. I had to buy 255/30/19 tyres to stop the rubbing. 265 is too wide with that offset and they will rub often. Mine rubbed the most at 70mph, so no good at all!

Here's the 255's. Slight stretch, Goodyear eagle F1 asym 2.
