Yes, it would be .4" wider at the front than stock. I took a chance and purchased a basically new OEM M3/M4 set from a forum member who sold his car. Haven't done a fitment test yet, but crossing my fingers that it should fit fine.
I'm hearing that the reason the BMW-recommended winterset for the F87 isn't square isn't a fitment issue, it's that the M2's DTC and DSC systems don't like a square setup. The last thing I need is my car to be pulling power or dragging brakes all winter. I may sell my F80 set and fall in line with BMW's recommended F87 set.

Does anybody know for sure how well the M2's DTC and DSC systems can cope with a square setup?
Where did you hear that? I find it a little hard to believe, as I know lots of folks who run a square setup on the track, and would obv have an issue if this was the case
