1. Will a set of square 245/40R19 winter tires fit the front and back stock rims? My understanding is that ideally for winter square set ups are preferred, but I am not sure what the width of front and back rims is.
2. If going this route, they certainly won't need a new TPMS module correct? Do Canadian spec 540's even come with TPMS, as all other (example my m3 and 440 gran coupe) just had flat tire monitoring system and not actual TPMS. So when I threw on a aftermarket winter/rim set on mine I didn't need TPMS. I know if in this case they aren't getting an aftermarket rim set it doesn't matter but I am curious to know.
Thank you guys.

The 19" G30 wheels are width are 8" front and 9" rear.
I've got 245/40/19 winters all around on my 8.5" and 9" wide F10 OEM wheels. So the 245/40/19 tires will fit both the 8" and 9" wide wheels.
