I would have thought the exact opposite, but I trust your judgment more than my own.
Are you taking into account the fact that the Vred's have a rounded sidewall when you say this?
The 275's on a 19x9.5 simply give the tire a more squared look, eliminating the rounded sidewall, but not really bulging much beyond that. Please refer to these pics: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=346471

The way I'm looking at it is, stock, in the rear I'm running an 18x8.5 on a 255 if I'm not mistaken.
Since 10mm is very roughly ~.5 an inch, each half-inch increase in wheel-width should mean one tire-width size up - and since I'm increasing wheel-width by one full inch (to a 9.5), shouldn't I up-size the tire width twice?
Also, if I'm running a 255 on an 8.5" in the rear stock, logically, shouldn't I be running that in the front when I put a 19x8.5 up there?

I completely understand that some of these sizes will just not work on the E92, but am I correct in my thinking?
