I have the wheels already, just need to order and mount the tires. I can report back in a few weeks once I get and test the system out.

Happy to report back that I've tested Nitto NT01 275 on 18x10 Apex SM-10 ET33 (12mm spacer in front) all around.
Initial fitment on a lowered M2 with 2.7 front camber was good and did not rub. I've since dialed in more camber - to 3.2 - to be confident that the fronts won't rub under compression on track.
I've done one track day so far and the new setup performed well. Nitto's were good for at least 1 second faster around Lime Rock compared to the Sport Cup 2s at OEM sizes on OEM wheels.
