Tire size suggestion

I currently have the following wheels in my storage and would like to have it setup. Can anyone suggest the tire size I should use? Thanks!

Front: 19X9.5 +25
Rear: 19X10.5 +35

255/35/19 and 275/35/19. There will be a limit to how low you can go with this setup, though. If you don’t mind a tiny bit of stretch and want to go pretty low, then 245/35/19 and 265/35/19 (stock sizes).

I’m assuming Michelin pss or ps4s - other tire brands may run wider or narrower.

Wheel width are 0.5'' wider than stock.

Those will fit minimum 245, ideal 255 or 265, maximum 275 for front 9.5''
minimum 265, ideal 275 or 285, maximum 295 for rear 10.5''

I would go 265/30/19 front, and 285/30/19 rear. If you are not worried with low profile sidewall that is more prone to road hazard.

If you are very considered to keep the stock riding dynamics, 255/35/19 and 275/35/19 will be great choice as well as Gimmethecash mentioned.

MPS4S will be good for all-around purpose.

Weather is getting there here in North as well!! I am looking forward to change mine so much.

Edit*: offset values are very close to 437M, I would not recommend fitting spacer. If your suspension is lowered than 30% profile choice would be more appropriate.

Thanks guys, i am looking to either put the stock size back on or get a new set. Now I am wondering if i should go with 30 instead of 35 becuase I have eibach springs on my car

275/35/19 with eibach springs

Has anyone figured out in the meanwhile if this setup will rub?

I also have my M2 lowered on the Eibach springs and my stock 265/35/19's are done, so I was thinking about getting 275/35/19s next. Tires are €50 cheaper than the 265's, more common and give a little bit more width in the rear.

I'm just afraid and wondering whether or not this setup would cause rubbing or any other issues.
