Maximum side wall tires on 19" wheels

Fellas and (Ladies) any input on the biggest rubber on a set of 19 inch wheels on stock (non m-sport) suspension E89?
Specifically will running 235/40/19 in the front on 19"x8.5et35 wheel have rubbing issues? What about running 265/35/19 in the rear on 19"x9.5et40?

Bump. I'm also interested in your question, as well as knowing maximum size/offset that one can safely run front/rear without rubbing.

I got no responses but I've successfully fitted 437m style wheels with the following specs on my standard (Non-M) suspension E89

Front - 19X8.5 ET35 235/40-19
Rear - 19X9.5 ET40 265/35-19

I have only had them on for one day, haven't noticed any rubbing. But the tolerances are tight, I wouldn't be surprised if the front rubs in certain situations. I think this may be close to the max size without alteration.

Thanks for the follow up. Looks great - I was wondering if 19x10 et38 wheels would fit on the rear. Looks like it might poke too much.

How's the ride on the 19s?
