I have personally run: 245/40-17 Pilot Sports and 245/40-17 Kumho 712s on 8.5x17 M-Contours at all 4 corners. No problems with either setup. No rolling and no spacers either. The Pilot Sports would touch the inner fender (barely) on occasion at full lock with the suspension loaded a certain way.

If you have a stock suspended E36 M3, what brand/size of rubber are you running? I've been told by some that (particularly with aftermarket suspensions), certain brands of rubber (even in 245/40/17) will not fit up front without spacers or rolling... Of particular interest are the following: Bridgestone SO-2 Pole Position Michelin Pilot Sport Yokohama AVS Sport Kumho ECSTA 712 (still debating as you certainly can't complain about the price...) TIA!!, Dave
