Good morning for context I’m in the last 10 percent of my 350 v8 swapped z3, I’m starting to look towards running wider than the 245s that came on the rear and wider than the front ( the 350 is stock so I don’t need slicks or an insane setup) I’ve seen people reuse like M parallel wheels and stuff like that does anyone have a recommendation on preferrably oem bmw wheels from another model that fit semi well and can run a wider tire without looking super out of place or have good sizing they can recommend

Not sure what is the original car (widebody or narrow) but I have seen E46 Style 68 17" wheels with 245 tyres on the rear and whatever from an E36/E46 has 72.5mm center and you can go as wide as 8.5 x 18 et35 from what I remember when I was looking around for my Z.
I have seen one with this setup and it had some M3 replicas....
