I looove square 19x10 ZCP wheels, they are just so beautiful

Staggered tires on square wheels is fine. I've run that on the square 10.5 wheels. Up front you want some stretch to have tighter steering and out back you're fine with a 'fatter' sidewall

10 in the front isn't a PITA like 10.5 is, so from a fitment perspective you should be ok.

I personally don't like 10 up front because I feel you lose some of the great steering feel you get with 245-255 tires, but as you see in the thread there are plenty of people running it and seem happy
To be honest the E9X deals with 275 up front way better than the E46. In the E46 it would drive me nuts to park with my track wheels. In the E9X I feel it is suboptimal but not a huge deal.

If you are supercharged you definitely want a 10 in the rear. I'd use a 10.5 but I know the ZCP wheels aren't made that wide
