I know this because I did fit (and actually drive) a 18x8.5 219M wheel around the brembo 365 kit with low profile weights. This is a great 6 piston 14 inch kit that was missing a year ago unfortunately.
Also, your piston sizes are spot on: Quick calculations shows that the fronts provide the same leverage (=same brake force given same pads/discs/tires) as the stock brake system. So a front only upgrade is provably doable.

Thanks for the kind words.
Yes, we did a special run of the CP5060 calipers specifically sized for the e90 M3. The brake bias shift is at approximately 0.3% towards the front vs. stock, so it is about as dead-on as you can possibly get. You would get substantially more of a bias shift by simply installing race pads in your front OEM calipers than you would by installing our BBK and holding all else equal.
