Motorsports, yep, the new tires rub much less. Actually they have not rubbed yet but I've only drove on them two days.

The main reason they don't rub is I went with Toyo T1R's which have rounded shoulders. I used 235/35 fronts and 255/30 rears. I actually think a 265/30 would rub about the same as the prior 245/35 Hankooks. I'll try to get some pics up in a few days so you can see the difference.

I had planned to have the wheels machined but the tire guys suggested different tires first, plus those wheels can probably only be machined a few mm's.

The Toyos ride great. I had already chewed up the old fronts. Apparently my alignment is off from my suspension install. I'm installing the M3 control arm setup in a week or two and redoing the alignment.
