The tyre size remains 225 on the front and 255 on the back but they are lower and the rear rim channel is 9" instead of 8,5", so I really hope that the combination will look much better
The problem is, it seems to me that the 19" 313 wheels are made with the LCI in mind, so if you have a pre-facelift car they will still look too tucked-in, you will need spacers.

Even on the 335is coupe, the 18" 313s look a bit tucked in even if they are standard. Seems that the LCI coupe track is not wider than the pre-LCI, probably because the rear fender constraints (on the pre-LCI sedan, there was plenty of room inside the rear fender).
