245f/265r vs 255f/275r on stock wheels

For those of you who switched from the stock 245 front/265 rear tire widths to 255 front/275 rear (i.e. M3/M4 sizes) on stock wheels, have you noticed any discernible differences in terms of the driving experience, i.e. more grip, more stability, more tire roar, less playful handling, better performance at the track... anything?

Looking for the same answers. I always planned to bump up to the F8X sized MPSS, but decided to wait now for the new 4s.

If anyone has done it provide a picture as well.

I can't speak to the 19s but I upgraded to 255/30/20 and 295/30/20 and I can confirm grip is much better. Also steering feels a tad bit tighter. You shouldn't have any fitment issues if you want to go 255/275
