Sanity Check: Will this suspension/wheel/tire combo work on an M2C?

Gents-- a little sanity check to see if this will work?

It's a wheel, tire, suspension combination for a 2020 M2C (which has far different clearances than an M2 OG or LCI on the front wheel well).

Stock wheels and tires for comparison purposes:
Front: 19x9 ET29 w/ Michelin Pilot Super Sport 245/35/19
Rear: 19x10 ET40 w/ Michelin Pilot Super Sport 265/35/19

Proposed combination:

Suspension: TC Kline single-adjustable front, double adjustable rear coilovers w/ 300f/600r springs. TCK states that this can be adjusted higher than stock if needed. I'm only interested in a moderate drop (if any) just to cut down on the wheel/fender gap. The tires are 0.2" taller, so that will help at stock heights.

Wheels: Apex EC-7 wheels (1/2" wider than stock, slightly different offsets).
Front: 19x9.5, ET28
Rear: 19x10.5, ET45

Tires: (These are approx. 0.2" taller than stock, according to Michelin's website).
Front: Michelin PS4S 255/35/19
Rear: Michelin PS4S 275/35/19

Three things of note:
1. I do track the car-- planning on 4-6 events per year.
2. I'm NOT interested in going to the "approved" 265/30/19- 285 or 295/30/19 combination. -30-series tires just aren't a great idea in Colorado. As well, I'm not fond of the look and the car is already low enough that I'm living in fear of driveway entries.
3. No rubbing. Nope. don't want any.

Thanks-- I'm starting to second (and triple-) guess myself.

Yes it will fit. I have a set of forgelines that are 19x9.5 et25 in front with 255/35/19 PS4S on JRZ coils. No issues, no rubbing.
