This car came with staggered rims and tires. There is a reason why it did. I suggest you search the internet on why cars have staggered rims and tires. Try Google or How Stuff Works.
Oh, if you were thinking maybe this will permit you to rotate tires, think again. The rims are different widths front to back and to complicate things even further, the center bore holes in those rims are different sizes to match the different sizes of hub centers.

Most people do use the 265/45R15 in the V710. It is wider than I recommend but it does seem to work. I also would not recommend the same tire on all four corners on this car. Unlike the BMW's that do handle better with the same size the S2K does not.
If i can help let me know.
