Thanks to Al, I was able to do a test fitment of 7 3RS wheels from HRE that has the stock size and offset on my 3.
This is how the stock setup with 235/35/19 tires look like:
This is how Al's HREs are with 245/35s on:
So, as it can be seen the 3RS wheel/tire combo sticks too far out and there is only about half a finger space left on the inside. This is with -2.5 front camber. So, it is a no-fit, so'll be getting 8.5" wheel for the front and stick to 245/35/19 tires.
Here is another shot of how red wheel stand on a white car:
Btw, does this look right to you all?

I wish I knew...
you are right, but the 245 was sticking out so much that it was not even worth dropping down from the jack. The main reason to go to 9" is to be able to fit 265/30 tires, which won't happen. I can fit 245s or 255s on the 8.5" wheels, so for now I think it is better to stay with stock config.
Thank you for your replies, I apprecite.
