Winter tires too big for M4? Came with car.

I just bought a 2015 M4 with both summer and winter wheels and tires. The winter tires are HUGE and I am thinking there may have been a tire size mixup at the dealership. (maybe the gave me the wrong set)

The winters are 285/45R19 (rear) and 255/50R19 (front), and my question is ... is there any chance these would fit on this car?

The summers are the standard size for 19" wheels at 275/35ZR19 and 255/35ZR19.

Thoughts appreciated.

Those tires will not fit, almost look like X3 or X5 sizes with those big profiles

0% chance of fitting

Take it back to the dealership and get it fixed before they claim bs like "it's too late to return them"

Aside from these actually not fitting on the car, running a 285 in the rear will make the car effectively useless in any meaningful amount of snow.

Thanks all. That's what I thought.

They are willing to change the rubber to 275/35 - but they will sit 1cm further outboard. under a separate thread I Am asking for advice on whether that will be a problem.
