With the E92 wheels I had 265/40 rears - so going to 275/35 solved that issue.
As for front rub I've had the Turner camber shim kit installed and am running as much negative camber as I can, so even though the EC-7s stick out 4mm more I haven't had any rubbing.

If you ran this offset (9" ET31) on front you'd have 3mm less clearance between rim and perch theoretically compared to your current setup
