You need to know what offset your wheels are, you can then workout what size spacers you need.

You don't need to know the offset if the wheels are already on the car.

Just measure as suggested above.

OEM Z3 wheels are usually 10-15mm

Make sure you get the correct Pcd and bore and they are hub centric at that size.
Factor in the cost of longer bolts / locking wheel nuts as well. Standard are 26.4mm so with 10mm spacers you will need c37mm etc. Get them advertised for a Z3 so you get the correct thread etc...
