The 255 front is slightly shorter and would cause more wheel gap, but with a drop provide more of a rake look like the actual M3 setup. I've heard that the rear tires wear faster than front as well, which may help prevent a larger looking front tire over time? The 235 on the other hand is the same height as the rear and should look better with the stock suspension.
if you're certain difference will not be a problem for x-drive, 255 up front will reduce the noticeable understeer associated with the 30mm stagger.
