You can fit 285/30/19 , it might rub thats for the rears, for your front use 245/35/19, hankooks have been great so far very grippy, never used falkens so cant help you there but im sure alot of members have

I have had falkens for a while now. As a matter of fact, I am getting ready to replace them. Nothing bad to say other that a little noisier than I would like. I am debating between the hankooks and the super sports.

My Ride: I have a 2007 Black Sapphire BMW 530i with SMG. It has the auburn interior, has PDC, Sports Package, Premium Package, rear automatic sunshades with manual side sunshades, 35% black tint, Upgraded angeleyes from Angelibrights, and Logic 7 Sound System

Well i had the falkens with the same set up but for 20's on my 2007 530i sport. No rubbing at all...the only problem was that the rear tires wore out in around 15K which I should have expected with my driving style lol. As for a replacement, I will probably just keep the 2 falkens in the front and buy some 285 hankook this summer. I have heard great things about both so I would personally go with the one that is cheaper and more convenient to get
