most recommended tire size are 245/35/19 front
275/30/19 rear
and I have a 19x8 et20 BBS CH wheels ready to be load.
but I think rear 275 for my poor(?) 2.5 litre will little bit too heavy.
what do you guys think ??
should I go both same 245/35 or any recommendations???

A 275mm tire isn't enough heavier than a 245 that you're ever going to feel the difference. That said, a 275-width tire is a bit over-wide for an 8" rim. If you're going to mount wider tires on the back, you really want to go with a staggered rim set-up. I was running 285/30/19s on the back and 245/35/19s on the front of my E61 (touring) with staggered rims, which worked out well (even if they weren't all that light)...

I ended up just going with "square" 245s on non-staggered rims (to reduce any diameter discrepancy front-to-back on my xi, which don't like that kind of thing, and because my wife thought the staggered wheels were too "gangsta"... ;-)

very nice looking setup for touring ...
