Will 255/40/18 at all 4 corners fit properly?

Looking at a winter set for sale locally from an M4. Square setup on staggered wheels. Just want to make sure there wont be a fitment/rubbing issue.

BMW recommends 235/40 all around on the M2.

Should be fine it's within 1% of the oem sizes front and rear.

You sure don't want wider tires on a winter setup - that's going the wrong way. Better to go narrower if anything.

Spinnetti is correct. An effective winter setup would be either 235/40-18, or 245/40-18 if one preferred a slightly wider and taller tire then BMW's winter recommendation.

255/40-18 can fit, however keep in mind that it is a bit tall (26.03") up front and could scrub your inner liners upon compression or at full lock.
