this always confused me
wouldn't you rather rim damage, (i.e curb rash, which can be filled/fixed)
rather than tire damage, which could ruin your rubber and cause a blowout//pressure problems?
this confusion only really came after my wife took a chunk out of my rear right tire parallel parking..

The OP mentioned 275/35/19, which should, depending on tire design, be slightly stretched like mine. I have had no issues other than the normal inner edge wearing faster than the outer edged of the tire - welcome to owning a BMW with negative camber by design.

Thanks for all the replies guys, it was very helpful. Though it sounds like for the most part the guys that say it's ok seem to be running 20's. I may just bite the bullet and buy wider rear tires....
