The OEM 245/35/19 Pirelli Zeros have a tread width of 8.4 inches and a diameter of 25.9 inches. My question is: Will the largest of the 255/35/19s with a 9.5 inch tread width and a rolling diameter of 26.2 inches fit on the front of the E92 Competition Package Coupe without rubbing? Others here have said that the 265/35/19s will rub and they are only marginally larger with a tread width of 9.7 inches and a diameter of 26.3 inches.

I run the Yokohama AD08R on my ZCP sedan which has an even wider tread width. Their 255/35R19 has a tread width of 9.9" and overall diameter of 26.1", and the 275/35R19 out back has tread width of 10.6" and overall diameter of 26.6". They do not rub but the wheel wells are definitely FULL. The AD08R has a very squared-off sidewall which gives it that extra bit of width for its size. (my 275s have 0.1" more tread width than the GTS's P-Zero 285/30R19s, actually)
