I think it would be most helpful for anyone advising on 245/265 tires to be very specific about brands. To just state that a 265 can be made to fit the rear (stock set up) with no rubbing is simply wrong as different brands have different shapes and you're basically pushing the size limit.

I had to pay $200 to get mine mounted. I asked that they do not put a tire monkey on them. I paid a bit extra to have areal tech mount them. (I've had a handful of bad mounting experiences though).

Well, BMW dealership is the only place that has been confident that they can do this no problem. and its 175$ might just have to suck it up.

If so, that's not too bad, as long as the dealer does quality work. |

Height of the front sidewalls is the biggest potential problem with a that setup. 235*.4=94 mm. Compare that to the stock 215*.4=86 mm. That's around 2/3" taller tire all around, all else being equal.
Also, by comparison, even the OP's 255/35 setup is still only 89.25mm from rim to tread. |

I know you can run 235/40 direzza on a stock 7.5" wheel. I dont think height is an issue.

Check a page back in this thread about tires sizes. Looks like someone was able to get a 235/40 on, but there were potential issues with fender rub without camber plates. 225/40 might be the best you can do in the front with a bone stock suspension, at least if you don't want rubbing. But like they said, these should really only be put on if you're willing to modify the suspension slightly to get the proper camber in place.
