Clearance For Wider Tires?

I recently purchased an F10 550 with the M Sport package. Looking at the tires they almost seem too narrow for the rims. When these tires wear out I'd like to go up a size wider. Is there room for 255/40's in front and 285/35's in the rear?

Do you have square or staggered setup ? If square, for sure the 285 rear cannot go with the factory rim.

They're staggered. There appears to be room in the rear, but I'd like hear it from guys who know. The lager sizes won't screw up my traction control or ABS will it?

If it's a pitcher of lager, it will screw up both.
If it's a pint, don't worry too much.

It won't. I don't agree they(255 /285) are larger.

I didn't understand what the heck you were saying until I looked carefully at my post. Now I get it - hahaha!
