M3 wheels on a 335i

I recently put 19' m3 wheels on my 07' 335i sedan. Had the fenders rolled and there is still slight rubbing - even worse with passengers in the back. The rear tire size is 265/35/zr19s, I was told that 265/30s would take care of my problem, howevewer it only rubs slightly now and im trying to find out if 255/35s would work as well since it barely rubs on the corner edge of the tire. I live in an area with a lot of pot holes and was hoping to keep as much rubber on my wheels as possible. any advice on this.....

if they won't fit on an e90 with rolled fenders, i guess that answers my question about getting the 18" 260m with m3 sized sidewalls on my e92

255/35/19 wont be much shorter then the 265/35/19, only about 3mm. I would recommend a 255/30 to be safe.

M3 wheels will fit just fine on a 335i if you put 335i sized tires on it. You're using M3 tires which is your problem, just go 265/30 or 255/30
