Tire fitment help - Michellin PSS

Getting new tires for my '12 e92 335i msport. Need help choosing the right one. Decided that I want Michellin PSS. The fronts stock are too narrow, which is why going higher in width.

Stock setup:
19inch Pirelli p-zero
FR: 225 / 35 / 19
RR: 255 / 30 / 19
Rim width: 8" Front / 9" Rear
Offset : 37 Front / 39 Rear

Planned upgrade:
19inch Michelin Pilot super sports
FR: 245 / 30 or 35 / 19
RR: 265 / 30 or 35 / 19

Looking for the right fit in terms of aspect ratio for the new tire dimensions and how that would affect the offset, speed error and/or other factors.

Any feedback will be appreciated. Thanks!

What are the specs of your wheels? Are they stock wheels? This will play a significant part in what you can put on them.

The offset stuff with '235/35/19 front 265/30/19 rear' should work out ok?

I met up with this BMW racing school guy in an autocross event. Discussed this situation with him, and he kinda set me on the path of 245/35/19 and 275/30/19. Would that run the risk of wheel liner rub?

If yes, then i would go with the safe option of 235 and 265.

I'm running 245/35 front and 275/30 rear on those wheels, stock pre-LCI E92, no problems. Looks great. Tires are Conti DWS though so before you run out and place your order, sit down with the detailed specs for those and the tires you are considering and make sure that they're close in actual size for those nominal sizes.

Ok, i have been going back and forth with tire rack. I made the decision on 235/35/19 and 265/30/19. But luck would have it, the 265s are not in stock and been back ordered since 6 months. No delivery date available. However 275s are available now. Now another decision point.. is the 235 / 275 combination good?

Not with the proper offset and wheel width. Your wheels are both about 1/2" to narrow for that setup. So id go the 236 265 route instead.

Yes, it works too. It's what I have now. 235 and 245 are both close enough to work with 275. But again you're close to puckering with 275 245 vs 265 235.

Update:
I got the 235/35/19 and 275/35/19 PSS installed. They drive great 98% of time. I have noticed that when i turn in quick, or there is a weird sequence of road undulation, the rear tires slightly scrape the wheel liner edge.

However the ride has immensely improved compared to the RFT Pzeros. Much smoother and the increase in tire size gives it more of a confident ride. Just got to figure out the scraping on few occasions.

Probably because it's an lci. They're tight. Is it rubbing inner our outer?

On the E92 there's no difference between LCI and Pre-LCI if I remember right.

I think the lci is more narrow outer than pre. If it's barely rubbing a roll should do it. I'm getting both rolled and stretched for $60.

EXACTLY WHAT YOU NEED !!!! +1 I run 277/30 on my 19 rears with STOCK suspension ... for now...with DWS. No rubbing whatsoever. When I change my suspension I will go with a summer set up at 18's / PSS / and rims to be determined. ET 35ish. Probably Koni FSD and Eibach springs. Don't want any harshness!!!!!!!!!!!

Update:
Got the rear tires set up properly with a Push to a small area in the wheel liner.
No issues since then.
