The square tire setup is fine on the 8.5/9.5 wheels, but you of course can't rotate front to rear. I had 275/35-18 Rivals all around, pinched down a bit on the 8.5 up front, and it wasn't too bad as the Rival was so stiff. It's not class legal to change the rear wheel width of course, so you couldn't run 8.5 all around for example.

Your M3, I have the Black C4.

I only care 0.1% or less. I would need to daily the car, so while I would rather have a manual for fun, an hour of stop and go traffic every day isn't fun.

Yeah rotate as in flip and swap on rims. Not as easy, but better then only being able to go left/right.

If you start out with a non-ZCP car (18/19x8.5" ET29 / 18/19x9.5" ET23), you would need to stick to 18x8.5" ET35 / 18x9.5" ET22.

Thats my thinking, a 275/35-18 on 8.5/9.5 shouldn't give up to much to a 275/35-18 on 9.0/10.0. Unless the RE-71 sidewall just isn't as stiff as the Rival's that I am use to.

The biggest advantage to the ZCP is if you really wanted to push things and run a 305/30R19 on the rear, 2.3% taller, but on a nationals size course maybe helpful.

You can fit a 315/30-18 back there on a 10 too. I did it on 9.5’s with Hoosiers back in the day. So supporting the Yoke or whatever in that size would be better on a 10

So the brilliant white e90 with the carbon fiber roof swap that is currently for sale would be F-Street legal??
