The most common and popular sizes for 19" tires, especially staggered sizes are 235/35/19 front and 265/30/19 rear. With these sizes the overall diameter of both the 235 and 265 are less than 2% larger than your stock tire diameter. You won't throw off your speedometer with such a marginal change. In fact, BMW speedometers are notorious for reading 5-10% over your actual speed. By up sizing your wheels and tires slightly, you'll actually have a slightly more accurate speedometer reading.
