Yes, they will fit with a drop.
The fit is identical to what I had on my HRE's.

My wheels were 20" wheels so not really comparable tire wise (though the wheel fitment is identical).
But as the specs says in the thread I had Pirelli P Zero Nero (thinnest tire out there?!) 245/30 fronts and 285/25 rears

So wait, stock m4 tires should fit too than right? But what was the offset on your wheels?

9" ET30 and 10.5 ET47 so just 1 mm difference.

The rear tires might be hard to fit on the F30 since they have a high sidewall and you need to be pretty low for it to look nice. It is an aggressive fitment but more aggressive fitments have been fitted...

Here is a car with 9" ET29 and 10.5" ET43 which is even more aggressive in the rear, http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=986080

Don't use stock M3/M4 tires on a car with xDrive, the rear 275/35 tire is 2% taller than the 255/35 front tire. It may cause damage to the AWD-system, you have to match the overall diameter front and rear.

So does anyone know what tire setup I could run to make this work? can I atleast use the front two tires and replace the rear 2, rears wont fit anyways they would be too wide I think. So what to get for the back two tires?

255 tires up front is questionable, may be too wide and cause rubbing.

I would suggest either 235/265 combination or 245/275:
F: 9x19", 235/40-19 1% taller than OEM
R: 10x19", 265/35-19 1% taller than OEM
or
F: 9x19", 245/35-19 1% shorter than OEM
R: 10x19", 275/30-19 1% shorter than OEM

Both combinations above are within spec for the wheels and also the overall diameter is very close to work with xDrive.

I want to go with the first setup taller the tire better comfort but its 200$ more than the second setup on tire rack

Allright looks like Im going with the second setup 245/275 not to irritate you but are you sure that setup wont rub? I will be lowered on H&R springs for now.. and it is XI model.. I will put the order in as soon as you confirm that brother.

Hard to give you a guarantee for a rub free fitment since it is an aggressive setup and every car is unique when it comes to camber settings.

But based on other members fitments I would say that there is a very good possibility that they fit with 245/35-19 and 275/30-19, especially since the tires are slightly shorter than OEM.

Stock of the 335... This is an aggressive setup so I would not go with that. The other setup is pretty close to rubbing too.

I am saying that it is an aggressive fitment so I wouldn't oversize the tires. And even lowered the rims will be a bit outside the fender.

I see most people are using the 235/35/19 and 265/30/19.
You suggest 40/35 instead of 35/30, does thta have anything to do with Xdrive and Non-Xdrive?
