Hi,

235/265 is the regular setup for 19's, a very safe;tried & test. The wheels will look good on the sports suspension but some prefer it a bit lower on eibach or H&R but its down to your personal preference. With regards to tires, there are many different brands out there its basically dictated by your budget. Your offset on the wheels is very important; filling of arches & rubbing possibilities. The E90 is normally a safe et35 front & et33 rear but you go down to et30 for an agressive setup.

Post pics when you get them fitted.

Cheers

The offset of the wheel will play the most important role in how well the wheel will fit. If the offset is around ET35, you'll be fine with no rubbing issues. If it's higher (in the 40's) you may need to run a spacer to get it flush. If it's lower (in the 20's) you may need to roll your fenders a bit to avoid rubbing.

so what do you recommend for me to get my set up closest to being flush with out roll fenders or having any rubbing issues?

For the M6 type 346 wheel the size and offset that I would recommed for your car is 19x8.5 ET35 in the front and 19x9.5 ET33 in the rear which will give you the perfect stance on your car without any rubbing issues.
