Will it fit?
That's what she said hahah all jokes aside.
I feel like the M2 will looks much better with wider rubber. I'm thinking of swapping the rear 265s up front and installing 295s in the rear. The 10" rear wheels will have no problem holding 295s. I'm just wondering if the 265s will rub up front. What's everyone's thoughts on this idea? |

It's probably possible. I would try immediately on delivery. The 1m rear 10l wide wheel and tire will fit up front. Most people don't try and run square with OEM wheels likely due to cost.
On the oem wheels 265 runs slightly and 255 does not run at all so most people do 255. For track I run apex arc 8 18x 10 all around on my 1m. 285/35/18 fits all four corners for track. A 315/35/18 fits on The rear with 18x10.5 and even wider is possible. Hope this carries over on the '2. All these turbo cars nee d more rubber I'm |

Given the M2 uses the same wheels as the M4, I suspect if a wheel/tire combo fits the M4 it will fit the M2. What you suggest works on the M4.
Having said that, no one knows yet so it is purely speculation.

In order to keep the balance, I would consider moving the 265s to the front and put 275/35s on the rear. They'll be closeer in diameter that way too. Yeah you can't rotate front to rear but that doesn't matter to me at least. 295/30s might be too much grip in the rear but maybe that's needed.

Even though a 295 will fit on the factory 10", it will look grossly bulgy.

Here is a popular thread over on the M4 forums detailing tire options for stock wheels. Lots of good info already compiled there.

But the M2 has slightly narrower tires though, 245/35/19 and 265/35/19 vs the 255/275 on the M3/M4.

BMW says the larger M4 rubber won't fit. I call bullshit. They probably reduced the width to slow the car around the ring, otherwise, it'd be too close to the M4 in terms of performance.

Fitting wider tires will be no issue at all, probably not M3/M4 offsets but adding 8-10 mm should be doable when looking at the photos. This is of course just my amateur opinion from looking at way to many Long Beach Blue M2's. |
