My Ride: 2005 545i Dinan S Package
Im in the process of buying new tires for some 19inch oem 645i style 121 rims. They're going on my 05 545i sport. I read here, they will just mount with no problems. But I read at bimmerfest that 275/35's will rub, that I should go with 275/30's
Could someone confirm this? I'm about to pull the trigger on some Michelin PS2 and need to know before I do.
Thanks gents.

It is recommend to keep the same rolling diameter as the stock tire sizes or stay within 3%. Anything above 3% can cause problems. 275/35/19 is greater than 3% of the stock rolling diameter. Tire Rack will tell you the same thing.

I got 245/35/19 in the front and 285/30/19 at the rear. Iam not sure but I think they put 35's in the front to give the car a little more traction ? I also see these kind of setups on allot of sports cars.
Did you need to add a spacer to fit the 285/30 in the back?

second number is a percentage, not an absolute #. ie the sidewall height is 35% of 245mm, or 245*.35=85.75mm. that's why the rear is a smaller percentage, since it's wider: 275*.30=82.5mm, a fraction smaller but not enough to trigger the ABS. 275*.35=96.25, considerably taller .
