I know lots of thread about the m5 166 w/ tire size in forum.
but I want to make sure before buy tyre.
245 35 19 , 275 30 19 most people recomend that size.

I'm wondering what about 275/35/19 for rear???
my car e60 535i w/ sport and will put m-tech aero kit.

so that size will be rubbing??

please give me any advise.
thank you

You might rub you might not it's hard to say. What I can say is that the outside diameter is going to be 4.2% larger than what it should be. Accordingly to Tire Rack, 3% is the max you should go.
