Anyone with 265/40/21 front tires on 21x9" wheels?

Anyone has or know of any clearance issues with that setup in the front? The ones with 22" wheels are using 265/35/22 which are the same overall dimensions as 265/40/21. Any known rubbing or clearance issues? Front wheels will be 21x9 w/ 20 offset.

It will work according to my research and main source of our Portugese member with X6M front wheels all around.

I was planning to fit all season 265/40/21 on a 21x9+26 with no doubt about fitment, just couldn't find any with the Alpine logo which is required in certain EU countries in winter weather.

Now putting these on the OEM 21" wheels, no issue in the rear obviously.
I would be less comfortable on the front wheels without spacers.

I fit a set of 265 40's on the stock 21's today. It's tight but no rubbing.
I'm running 15mm spacers. 255 40 21 would be a better front fitment, but this will work.

265/40/20s should be no problem then. Been thinking about getting rid of the 19" wheels
