The why is simply because he wants to use ZCP wheels.

I have no doubt I prefer wider wheels. Hell, I have two sets of square 10.5 wheels I use with 275/35 tires
And if he wants ZCP wheels I think he would better off with 275/35's or possibly 285/30 but there are very few 285/30 options. There are a zillion wheel options for the e92 that can better accommodate a 295. I can't believe there isn't a single wheel in existence that he doesn't like as much as a ZCP. But either way it's a compromise. Limiting the options to ZCP wheels requires that he compromise with either (1) A sub-par 295 fitment or (2) A narrower tire that fits better on a 10" wheel. I would choose option 2.
