You'll need 215/35 tyres to have no catching issues
Interesting thing, now i have 225/40 in fronts.
If i mount 215/35, i will solve the problem?
The front corners where it rubs is so common and isn't an issue. Happens regardless of how much or little it's lowered.
It happens because BMW couldn't be bothered folding the arch enough.
Don't stress and enjoy driving and be glad that's you're only issue.
If you're breaking bumper clips then get a tad more camber up front.
Also note that raising up a small amount can make a massive difference.

It is a compromise though, as you're losing 10mm on the tyre width aswell as having a smaller profile.

Can't say I notice it as a compromise, it's not made the front any worse Infact it's comfier than the 225 runflats. 215 vreds are still really good. Even when on a proper drive out with other z's I wouldn't say I struggle any worse than people running standard sizes.
