I have a 2007 550i Sport (stock sport suspension not dropped).
I just bought a pair of Miro 346 Wheels (Style 167 M6 Replicas).
Wheel sizes are:
19x8.5 ET15
19x9.5 ET20
I've read most people recommend: 275/30/19 & 245/35/19
Would any of these combinations work w/o rubbing issues? Is there a downside or upside to any of these?
275/35/19 & 245/40/19
285/35/19 & 245/40/19
285/30/19 & 245/35/19
NOTE - the wheels have a pretty low offset, and I am on stock sport suspension.
Thanks in advance!

You have the wider stance with the et20 in the rear, so the 275/30 should be suffice in that area and also your speedo wont change. If you need more traction get a stickier tire like the goodyear GSD3's, Michelin PS2 (not sony) or the Falken Azenis rt615
To run a 285/35 you'll need a ET32 offset rim
to run a 285/30 you'll need a 19x 10 inch rim
both will require you to recalibrate your speedo
Here is a pic of the 285/35 on you're sport rims

Is it accurate that I need 19x10 rim to run 285/30 - that doesn't make sense to me?
From a speedo perspective this combination has very little difference than stock: 285/30/19 & 245/35/19.
I guess it depends on the tire as well. If a 275 tire is really wide then its probably similar to 285. Also if a 285 tire is narrow it probably is more like a 275.
I still didn't get a definite sense if 285/30 would be ok in the back or not?

Did you end up getting the 285/30/19 in the rear 167s?
I have the same wheels and its time to change the 275/30/19's in the rear and I am thinking of 285/30 instead of the 275/30.
