Now the question is, do the tires rub?

535dse what tire size do you have on the rear? Are they 275 35 19's that come with the 645?
Has anyone had experience with these wheels. They have REAR 275/35 R19, THE FRONT ARE 245/40 R19. Can they go on directly without changing anything?

Yes, that's what the B5 Alpina runs as standard size and equals what many use on the oversized 20" tyres (245/35/20 275/30/20), which I also run.
They will go straight on and even fill your arches slightly better, so no appearing gap to worry about in the looks department, and the 6 series offset on the rears will nicely aid in the arch filling (without catching), too

The only thing you need to take care of is that your speedo will now nearly be exactly correct, as the wheel dia will be out by between 3 and 4 %, which usually is your positive speedo deviation.
