Sorry for stating the obvious, but I just want to make sure I am not wrong with my thinking. Please correct me if I am...

We have on the F11 the BBS CH-R 255/35 20x9-rim (front) and 285/30 20x10.5-rim (rear) which is ok with the M-suspension. Tires are PSS. No rubbing in any way...
Yes, I meant 245/35/20 and 285/30/20.
35 means 35% of 245 = 85,75mm
30 means 30% of 285 = 85,50mm
