E93 tire fitment question

I’ve been searching around posts but haven’t found 100% concrete info so here is my question.

Model E93 M3 edc car
Wheels apex ec7
19x9.5 et22
19x10.5 et22
Stock suspension for now

Here is the situation:
On the apex fitment guide they are showing a 265 30 19 front and 285 30 19 rear under aggressive street fitments. These are supposed to not rub.
I was going to get Michelin ps4s but with them being on unknown back order everywhere I’m either going to have to go pirelli same size or a different size to get the Michelin tires.

Size I’m looking at:
One post I saw another e93 owner was running 255 35 f and 285 35 r with no rubbing. The wheels were at et 26 though so I’m worried going off that I may end up rubbing with an et22.

I know the rub no rub index is full of info but not very many e93 owners posted much info. From what I’ve read it seems but is not verified that the e93 has a little more breathing room in the wheel wells. So I guess my question is what are y’all running and can anyone confirm the above wheel and tire combo won’t rub.

I am lowered on hr springs
Front has minor rub (like worn fender liner)
Rear doesnt
Mine is 255/35/19 front and 275/35/19 rear i know you asked for 285…
I prefer the meatiness of the tire with a 35 series
The wheel specs are the same as you mentioned

What size spacers are you running? Offset?

Thanks for the reply and pics - I saw it when you first posted but got busy w/work but did end up getting the wheels and tires.

I actually ended up going with 295/30/19 rears because 285/30/19 Michelin ps4s were not available at the time or foreseeable future.

So the verdict

Model E93 M3 edc car
Wheels apex ec7
Front: 19x9.5 et22 265/30/19
Rear: 19x10.5 et22 295/30/19
Stock suspension

Rolling them for a couple of months now and No rubbing at all. The fender gap in the front is driving me crazy though. Gonna have to lower it a bit.
