Hey guys. I got me a set of black M6 rims but apparently they were on a 3 series before since they have less wide and lower profile tires on them. I have to replace the tires but I'm not sure if to go with 255 40 19 in the front and 285 35 19 in the back OR 245 40 19 in the front and 275 35 19 in the back.
Thanks
Thanks

go with the 245 and 275 combo. I made the mistake last year of trying a taller profile and I ended up rubbing, that being said I am lowered.

The 245/35/19 and 275/30/19 is the ideal setup. I'd recommend that you check out the Hankook Ventus V12 tire as they are a great overall summer performance tire and won't break the bank.

I just replaced the front tires with similar Hankook V12 Evos (245/35/19s for $179 a piece); they lasted for 31 K miles.
The rear tires could go for a few more thousand miles before they need replacement. I'd go with Hankook again.
