The M3/4's run F: 255/35 R:275/35 stock on the same width wheels as us (9,10).
Some models come with F: 265/35 R: 285/35. Most M3/4 guys run F: 265/35 R: 295/30 or 35. I plan on putting the rear tires up front and buying 285/35 for the rear. Both are the max recommend size for the width and maintain the same circumference stagger (0.6") F/R. Has anyone else done this yet? Wanting to see how it looks with a meatier tire at stock ride height.

There is more room for tire on the M3/4. I believe 265/35 tires will likely rub in front on an M2C, but 285/35 may be ok in the rear.
I recently put some 255/275 MP4S on and it's tight but so far so good... |

Looks like I'll wait till these need replaced. I was going to go for it since I can use the 245 front tires on my other BMW but I can't use the 265's.

As soon as my rear tires are worn, I'm switching to 265/30/19 front and 295/30/19 rear.

265 in the front rubbed the front fender protector, I went to 255 barely any space, but works. 285 in the back no problem.

285/35 fits easily in the rear, and 265/35 works fine in the front (unless you plan to lower your car). You *might* get a touch of rubbing in the front on full lock, but it's negligible.

Do you have a picture of 255/285 setup? I'm assuming 35 sidewall on both?

pretty much, iPhone XS MAX, it has been raining and the car is dirty. But, these are patina bronze, nicer looking on the SO than gold 763m.

I have Vorsteiner V-FF 103's in 19x9 et21 and 19x10.5 et40, fr/re respectively.
Waiting for Conti tires in 255/35 and 285/30, fr/re respectively. Yes, i'm getting Cont's only because I have access to them at a huge discount. Hopefully they will clear on stock suspension. Anyone used this combo? These will become my "street" wheels/tires. I will use my "stock" wheels/PSS tires for track. |

I'll Pass
I'm sure the larger tires will look a little better, but my concern is the change in handling; I'm not sure it will be better. The increase in grip means you'll likely need an increase in power to compensate. I went to a larger wheel on my 135i and car never quite let go in the rear the way it used to. And when it did, It wasn't a smooth slide. I think I'll trust BMW in what should be the appropriate setup.
