Like ZM2 said anything of 275 in the front is going to be very, very tight without doing some fender work. The M2 just doesn't have it as easy as we do in the E92 M3 world. I still get a bit of rub with 275 R7s in the front. And definitely when the power starts to climb a bit more grip in the rear helps. I like staying within 20mm & the minimal bump in understeer is still outwieghed by overall pace increase. 30mm is a bit more than I prefer but on the F87 platform and all the fitment constraints we get to mess with you have to go where you can make the tires work - would think 275/305 would still be quicker overall than 275 square.

That being said I will have some good feedback on what 305 square & up feels like on the F87 platform here in a few months
