What are the offsets? Should fit OK if 18s depending on offset.
I can't recommend Goodyear Eagle F1s enough for all round use, great in the wet and decently priced.

That's the stud pattern, offset is how much they'll stick out depending on how deep the mounting face is on the wheel, it's usually stamped on the inside of the wheel and is a 2 digit number shown as et**. As Buckz says wheel width is also important, should also be stamped on the back of the wheel as 8j, 9j etc for inches in width.
Reading this should help you;

5x120 will the bolt pattern.

where are you getting them from?

off-set will usually be market with "ET" e.g. "ET 35" - front/rear differs

I'd get the specs confirmed before buying :)

rears should be wider on the z4's, like many RWD cars.
