Yes, the fronts have a small lip you can roll.

Dinan's S3 prototype uses the following setup. They claim there is no rubbing. It also has the standard Dinan drop. They also say that they will be switching to the BBS CI-R as soon as the 19" are ready, which should be soon.

Wheels:
Front: 19 x 8 ET 40 – BBS CH-R (custom modification)
Rear: 19 x 9 ET 44 – BBS CH-R (custom modification)

Tires:
Front: 245/35-19 – Michelin Pilot Super Sport
Rear: 265/30-19 – Michelin Pilot Super Sport

Possibly modified offset?

This is what Nathan at Dinan said. Can probably get more info from him:

"The custom modification we did was something to the center mounts to make it fit properly if memory serves. These wheels natural application is for the old E8x 135i but they didn’t work naturally on the M235i for reasons I don’t recall. The engineering guys are off on Fridays so I don’t have anyone to lean on for specifics on that. Ultimately we will be offering a CIR instead of a CHR on the 2 series as the CHR was never meant for the 2 series."

i won't upgrade if it is not for a legit fat 265 pss with no big modifications,,,, car looks awkward on stock 245

Well for a 19x9.5 +40, 265/30/19 will fit. I put my rim on the car and there is over an inch of clearance from the rim to the suspension. A 265/30/19 MPSS will be about 0.3 inches closer to the suspension. You could get another half inch of clearance towards suspension if you cut the shock cover, which someone on these forums already has. The only downside is that you will have some poke, about a half inch out.

This is the most vague explanation I could hear. Without stating the detailed size/offset differences between the CH-R and CIR, the statement "the CHR was never meant for the 2 series" is worthless to me. If you someone is OK with 225 front and 255 rear tires, the 8x19 ET 40 front and 9x19 ET 44 rear is the most natural and safe way of upgrading the 2-series to 19" while increasing the rear propelled tires a little - enough for improving the initial acceleration grip required by this RWD car (at least with the stock factory tune). It's the same as Z-Performance offers, only better because CH-r are flow-formed thus stronger. What the heck is "not meant" for the 2-series in them?

Boy you are picky haha

The best advice I ever got going into this (my first time doing aftermarket wheels) is that you need to be willing to do modifications to make an aggressive fitment work; whether it be alignment, body work, etc.
What fits on someones 2 series may not actually fit on yours, cars could come with slight factory variance in alignment specs.

I'd be more concerned about outer rather than inner clearance if I were you. I'm ET47 with a 265 and it's still pretty aggressive as it has a some poke in the rear. If I had anymore poke it would look stupid and probably rub, but since you have a lower profile tire you might get away with it.

19x8.5 et40 F and 19x9.5 et45 R
235/35R19 and 265/30R19 Hankook Evo2 V12

Test drove them, no rubbing on the rear.. but it did rub up front..
Gonna have my fenders rolled.

I'm on H&R Springs

[M-tavo]

btw.. the look that the 265's give to the rear of the car it's amazing...

Looks badass!! gives a really nice wide stance

Looks great! What wheels are those?

Thanks!!

they are Forgestar CF5V, semi concave and deep concave.. can't really appreciate the color but it is Bronze Burst

Custom modification was back-trimming the rear center section effectively changing the offsets. The standard wheel offsets are et 40 / et44 on the BBS CH-R. With the 1-off modification the offsets are et45 / et48, which is the new standard offset for the 19" CI-R's that are coming out.

Rubbing the outer isn't an issue at all with the lower profile tire. Also I'm stock suspension. Not even close.

It's hard to say how much the 30 profile will help you, your rolling radius is probably close stock. Get the wheels and tires on the car, then you might see what I mean. I'm just surprised that you would get such an aggressive offset when they make proper 1/2 series fitments. You also need to consider the shocks under load. If it gives you the look you're going for, more power to you

Thanks for the info pal, any idea when these new BBS will be out ?

Bro, so you Reckon that 225 up front won't Rub on this setup, plus Hankook has a smaller footprint than PSS am i right ?.... Car Looks sick by the way !

Aiming for a limited release in late March for the 19" CI-R's. With the bulk of them coming in late April.

Since you have 18" and not 19" maybe you will see what I mean once I put them on. lol

The 19s will only fill the wheel wells by an extra 0.2 inches. I've tested the spring compression with 700 pounds in the rear and they don't even compress an inch.

Also the AG M510s in 35/40 are 500 cheaper then going custom offsets. and if they don't look right on the M235i, I can always put them on my Z4M. lol.

Closest thing i found is this guy but he has Spacers : http://www.2addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1215899

Thank you

I have PSS 265s in rear on 18x9.5 ET58 Apex EC-7s. No spacers, no rolling. Had to modify rear shock dust cover. Tight fit. No visible rubbing evidence after 2k miles.
