M2 OG 255 Front, 275 Rear Tires on Stock Rims?

Just returned from a weekend at VIR with my 2018 M2 on its original Continental Sport Contact 3 tires. Had some great runs, but these tires are nearly down to the wear indicators. Reasonably good performance with even wear, so no real complaints. However, I am considering going with 255/35 front, 275/35 rear tires on the stock 9 and 10 inch rims. Do any of you know if this tire size increase causes any clearance or handling issues? With track brake pads and high temp brake fluid, I believe the next biggest improvement for track runs is better tires of the Extreme Summer variety--no R compound as this is my daily driver.

I could use a bit better corner turn in and braking performance on track, and was hoping a slight width increase may help at both ends. Also, I would like to upgrade to the Goodyear Supercar 3 tires, but it appears those may not be available anytime soon. I suppose the Michelin SuperSport 4S tires are a good alternative. Any suggestions about my comments above?

Thanks!
