Default M5 tire size

It's time to change front tires for me , I run oem 166 with m5 tire size front and back
I am planning to lower the car this year with coil overs , should I reconsider tire size or it should be fine
Car is 2008 535i with m5 front end conversion
Thanks guys

as a non-M E60, recommended tire size would be 245/35/19 and 275/30/19

I am running the mentioned size but was thinking to increase the size wall to protect the rims as I have crecks every other month thanks to ny rounds. If you drop and roll the fenders bigger size won't be problem.
