Sure you can. I am running 275/60 on OEM 18 inch rims with no ill effects, looks good. No rubbing anywhere, doesn't overhang the wheel wells.

My speedometer is slightly over-corrected with these. On that front, I would have been dead on with 275/55 but couldn't find a tire I wanted that size.

Disclaimer: This is NOT what the BMW engineers decided you should have, so I have sinned in doing this. I have chanted ten million times "I did not NEED to do this. No one NEEDS what OEM does not provide." as penance.
