My Z3 can take the 8.5" on the front (I've tried it and it works with NO room left over). I was thinking of getting 9" M-Roadster wheels for the front and back.
My question is putting a .5" (15mm apx) spacer and having a 41mm offset, will these babies be sticking out of the front ? Any comments ?

the M Roadstar 9" wheels have an ET of 9, even without a spacer they're going to be sticking out pretty far.

Found the answer to my question because the offset on the M rear wheels was unknown to me when I asked this question. The Offset is only 8mm thus making it almost impossible to put these on the front, the gain to the offset is that the M Roadster has a wider stance. It would stick out so bad it would over 39mm on the out side and require 27mm spacers LOL
ps. sorryf for asking such a ridiculus question, if I did my homework it would have been obvious...

Here's some pictures with front and rear MZ3 wheels on a 2.8. You could run four fronts.

http://www.mz3.net/articles/198.html | Thanks for the pics, I guess if I were to go with them I would just use the same layout as the M-Roadster.
However,
I want to max out the front tire width to at least the max 8.5". I guess instead I will buy two more of the Rear that I have "style 32" ( see sig) and use them on the front. Might get spacers so the rear wheels come out a little more... This would give me 8.5" all around and hopefully add more much needed oversteer IMO
