Anyone using 265/35 rear and 235/40 front tyres on 19's 326M on M Sport suspension

I'm thinking of getting new tyres and getting rid of the RFTs and currently deciding between Michelin PSS or PS4 S or the Vredestein Ultrac Satin but not sure which size to go for.
I've done some reading but it looks like no E89 owners have the size I am after 265/35R19 rear and 235/40R19 front.
I've got M Sport suspension which is 10mm lower than the standard and want to use the standard 326M alloys. My worries at the moment are will these rub either on the front or the rear and will they be too stretched. The alloys are 9Jx19 ET40 rear and 8Jx19 ET29 front.

That's exactly what I have on my 326s with M suspension : 235/265 MPSS. No rubbing whatsoever.

That's great, thanks a lot for replying I've seen some mixed replies on other forums that they might be too tall for the M Sport and will rub but it was all based on data specs and no first hand experience.
Do they fill the fenders better than the standard 225/35 and 255/30 (have you got any photos) and is there any more front end grip like some suggest I'll get from the wider 235 width

Thanks guys, I'll go for the Michelin PS4S but was hoping someone to post photos of how the 265/35R19 rear and 235/40R19 front are filling up the arches to put my mind at ease.

Frank do you have photos of how your set are sitting inside the wheel arches?

I have 235/35ZR19 and 255/35R19
H&R lowering springs (30mm drop for standard suspension and 20mm drop for Msuspension)
12mm wheel spacers all round.

I believe this is the max you can get on stock fenders.

had some rubbing at the beginning (with the plastic protection) but after 2 weeks it stopped (the outer lip of the plastic cover disintegrated )

You'll be fine.

Here are my specs. F: 19x9 et35 R: 19x10 et38/ Michelin PSS F: 245/35/19 R: 275/30/19

I've had this tire size on my winter wheels, Linea Corse LC818's w/ Conti DWS, on stock M Sport Suspension, and w/ H&R springs, as well as on my summer setup, Forgestar F14's on H&R springs, and now on my KW V3.

Only time get rub is on extreme incline in and out of a driveway, or on a high speed dip with passenger that was 250lb + a trunk with a 19 inch wheel and tire. but thats rare.

if you want to see pics...

245/19 and 275/19

Putting Continental Tires on the car and losing the RFT made the car go from harsh to SL600 smooth.

Ok, so no one with this exact setup on M Sport suspension and 326 wheels - 235/40R19 front on 8J and 265/35R19 rear on 9J that can reply?

I better get the 265/30R19 rear and 235/35R19 front then.

I have the 265/30, 235/35 setup with 326 wheels (Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires) .
235/40 would most probably rub in front.

BTW, additionally I run on Eibach - 20/10, and 12mm spacers rear, these cause some rubbing...

Thanks mate, I still cant understand why it would rub as the 235/40 and 265/35 are closing the arch gap by only 15mm front and back (comparing to original 225/35 and 255/30) and there are lowering kits that drop the M Sport by 10mm like the Eibach one so there must still be some space left.
I've been trawling the forums for a few months now so I guess I should play it safe and get the size you've got but I'm not planing on lowering it.
I am looking for a 35is at the moment as I feel the 23i is little underpowered and needs to be above 4K RPM to get the et out of it.
