245/265 E9X
255/275 F8X base
265/285 F8X comp/CS/GTS
275/285 G8X base /comp
My car has 255s the only width available at launch so I’m sure it’s significant. The 265s came later. Maybe the G8X will add 285s later for some models...we don’t know.

Also significant and unusual aren’t the same thing, it can be typical and still be significant
