Urgent question, Anyone seen a 295/25 or 285/30 on a 12.5 rim before?

I am buying tires for my E93 today and
not sure if I should go 285/30 or 295/25
on 12.5 inch Ordens..

I cant find any online to see what it looks like.. being an M3 I wanted to have max contact patch but the fitment will be super agressive.

Hey Gabe, I run a 245/35 on an 11 up front. I'm using hankook ventus v12 tires also. Before I ran the 295/30 I actually had a 285/30 on the 13 and the tire seated but there was too much exposed lip and barrel for my tastes. And the tire guy I went to didn't feel safe going over 80 psi without a tire cage.But here is a pic of the 295 on the 13
