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:)

Those GT calipers are nothing like your 135i calipers though, different sized and different world.

Stunning!
My mate had a set on an M3, really good brakes, no complaints, fit well with CSL wheels

May just need bigger spacers, I needed 12mm with the stoptech to get a decent amount of clearance on CSL wheels.

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.

Is what exactly? You have no idea of the dimensions of these calipers relative to yours, so saying you needed 3mm is about as much use as a chocolate teapot.

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

Yeah I'm sure he hadn't thought to use the template that comes with the calipers to work that out.
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"??
