AFAIK, there is only one size (M6 offset) for the OEM M167 rims. To answer your original question, yes. You'll be fine and get 275 for the rear (that's what I have).
Also, you might want to add spacers to improve the look (wheel sits flush with the rear fender). This is only if you want a wider stance, spacers are not required for normal installation. For tire choices, I'd suggest getting the Vredestein, they are great, perform well in wet/dry conditions and look wider. GL

the M5 offsets will work fine without spacers, but most members decide to put on spacers just to get a more aggressive look and stance in the rear by widening the stance a bit. with the M6 offsets, you would have that stance already without spacers.

M5 offset will work but you'll need spacers. I have M5 offset that's why I have a pair of 12mm spacers at the rear.

Either sizes will work, but i would go with the 275 in the rear since the M6 offset is more aggressive. Vince.
245/35/19 and 275/30/19 is the best option. If anyone needs wheels and tires let me know. I probably can beat other's prices or at least match. Just bought my E60 530I nd loving it.
