Potenza S007a in e90 plus sizing

I recently bought a set of staggered style 286 and want to run plus width tires. 235/45/r17 & 265/40/r17 as I'm having traction issues... I noticed the new potenza S007a comes in this sizing. I haven't found any other tire that is manufactured in both these sizes that would be appropriate for my 335D.

Will this tire fitment work on my stock height lci e90?

Has anyone run this tire yet? Not many reviews out yet.

I read S0007 isn't as good as S-04. Get S-04. Older but better in every way.
Remember to warm up a bit before expecting traction, unless you're in Arizona.
Do not drive below 40F. The rubber isn't made for that temp and can break up the compound when pressed at those temps.

Front will work. I'm running 235/45/18. Rear, I have no idea. Only seen up to 245 on 17.

So far, the S007A is the only tire manufactured in 265/40/r17 that I can find, otherwise I would look at other options. 255/40/r17 is OE size for the rear style 268
