Having a 523i is not going to make any difference using 275s or 285s in the rear. Just go ahead with what everyone has been telling you. 245/35/19 in the front and 275/30/19 in the rear. And of course, I have to mention that 285s will look better aesthically.

as you know mine is a 523i so the fear of feeling underpower is why......
Go for looks!!!! The 10 or 20mm won't make any noticable difference!

ferri are you located in Thailand? quad_m said you got rims from him and was shipped into Thailand. Did you pay any sort of tax or anything? Thanks.

285 width on a 19inch rim won't rub?

related question, the 172s are very slightly off from the standard e60 offsets. close enough to not need spacers? (18 front, 32 rear, i think)
