The F80 M3s run these sizes and use the same offsets so it would be a simple test for you to find someone with an M3 and just try these out on the M2. The car has enough torque for the slightly larger diameter and slightly heavier tire but my educated guess is that you really won't gain much since what makes the M2 special is the balance the M guys put into the car. Changing the tire sizes will probably upset that balance everyone raves about.
I'm running 255 and 275/40/18 on stock suspension with no issues!
On a 1M? Or M2?

Thanks
