I don't suppose you're running spacers, are you?

The Pirellis seem to run wider than the PS4S, but I have no idea where the Cups slot into that continuum.

Would presumably do 15/12 if they don't rub or 12/12 if they would, but real world experience (if you or anyone else has it) would be ideal.
I have 15 in the rear, no rubbing but they do poke out a bit from the fender. Looks super aggressive but if you don't like that look I'd go 12's for the flush look.

The BMW dealer tried 18's in the front but they rubbed too much so they were removed. No wheel well modification was attempted so I'm not sure if cutting a few fins would alleviate the issue.

Currently I have no spacer up front which really accentuates the rear flare with the slight poke I have with the 15's in the rear.

I'm not sure if I'm going to bother changing things but if I do I'd get 12's for the rear and put the 15's up front.
