a 255/35 19 is .3 inches bigger in diameter than 245/40 18 and its 799 rpms vs. 809. Seems okay. Using a 285/30 rear?
Thanks,

Should be no problem at all.

No you cant. its not the diameter vs revolutions thats the probm... the offset of the #16 wheels stick out too much and with 255s your'll rub. Under turns and when the suspension is compressed.
use 245/35/19 f
use 245/35/19 f

I appreciate the comment. I'm curious since I have conflicting answers, how did you come across this info. on the fronts rubbing? Also, what about a 285/30 19 rear? Any issues there?

Well, I too have OEM 166s. I'm running 245/35/19s in the front and 275/30/19s in the rear. 285/30/19 will not be a problem at all for the rear.
Interestingly, I think you are the first to ask whether 255/35/19 will fit the front. Usually, the question is will 255/40/19s fit? These are the tire size from the M5. But nevertheless, I agree with EBMCS03 that you will risk having rubbing issues if you fitted the 166s with 255/35/19s.

I can attest that 285/30/19 will not rub on the rear. I had them in My old Harge wheels and no probs only after I added a 5mm spacer that I started rubbing so I had to do a lip roll. IMHO the car looks more balanced (looks) with a 285 in the rear . take a good look of your car and the rear tires seem (well actually they are) too small compared to the fronts ad the E60s have a large body in the rear.
