265/35 with 295/30?

Hi guys, I know this has prob been answered elsewhere so I apologize in advance.

I have a new M2C and I did the BM3. The car spins the stock tires like crazy.

Was able to find some good & cheap PSS 295/30/19.
So can I put the stock 265/35 front and install the 295/30 rear? Will this work? Will it cause any issues with the traction control? I am not a tire expert...just wondering if this setup will work.
Worst case if the 265 rubs I can use the stock 245's up front...

Anything helps!
Thank you in advance!

The rear would be smaller than the front (not by much). My OG M2 struggles with square setup - traction control gets over aggressive.

50mm difference between the front and rear would likely lead to understeer.

You can do snow removal in the winters the way that thing will plow.

You may also need some negative camber as well to fit that tire size, especially if you're lowered.

Also there have been people that have been able to stuff 295's on the stock rear wheel but generally it's recommended that 10" wheels have a maximum tire width of 285.
