19" wheel tire size

I am currently running 245/35-19 (f) and 275/30-19 (r). Could I go to 235/35-19 and 265/30-19?

'07 M Coupe (ZCP wheels)

I wouldn't. Narrower contact patch and shorter sidewalls.

They would "fit", but you'd be giving up performance, tire durability/rim protection and looks.

Stick with the sizes you have now.

they ditto to the post above. What is the reason for wants to go with smaller tire widths? Snow tires?

Also what are the wheel widths they are mounted on?

I don't know why you shouldn't, it's the standard for the CSL...

Minor rubbing when wheels are at full lock. Stock suspension. Perhaps the tires being 10mm less would prevent the rubbing?

5mm or 10mm spacers on the front wheels would be a better option. The ZCP wheels have the wrong offset for the Z4M.
