The proper offset for the Roadster is 15mm. The Z uses "0" offset, hence the
problem. You can get by with using Z mags if you use a narrower tire (like
175). Also, depends upon the width of the rim. Once you get above 5.5 is when
you start having problems.
I ran Shelby Europa wheels on mine for a while and they fit fine.
