As the title and description states, will OEM166s running 255/40/19 fronts and 285/35/19 rears fit on a 09 535' without needing to roll the fenders? Thanks for your guys' time.

My Ride: 2006 BMW 550i

from what i've read, no.
the rears might work, but the front will definetly rub.
the ideal size is
245/35-19 front
275/30-19 rear
those are the tire sizes bmw puts on the 2008+ 550 sport wheels.

Correct. 255s are too wide up front.
