If you want stock performance and a bit better look IMO you need wider tires, especially in the rear with that size of wheel. 275s are streeetched on your wheels. So stretched you are not getting optimal performance as bmw put 275 tires on a 9 inch wheel stock. You will want 295's on the rear. You will want wider on the front but will need spacers. Atleast the rear would look better as now it looks like there is just a smidge of tire plastered around the wheel!

hmm, can anybody else comment on the rear tires?
right now they are 275s on a 10.5 inch wheel, and they do seem a bit stretched. how does this effect performance from a takeoff? (I haven't tried it yet).
Am I going to see an appreciable difference by going to a 295/30R19? That would add only 0.5 inches to the total diameter, which would probably make it look better with the 245/35 x 9's in the front.
if it makes sense, i'm going to put in the order today!
