Any opinions on this rim setup?

Possibly looking for new rims after my 2 of my Z2S' were damaged by a huge pothole. Looking at a set of rims with this offset depending on how the outcome goes w/ Safeguard, the wheel and tire warranty I bought through BMW. 245/35/19 and 275/30/19. Think this will be fine w/ the xdrive? Thanks for any input.

My old Z2S Set up was 235/35/19 and 265/30/19.

It would depend on the particular brand and model of tire, but in general 235F/275R would be a closer match for a 19" application on these cars.

bumping for update.

i actually ran into a similar situation. i just bought an '08 e92 328xi and after a couple of run-ins with potholes, 3 (that's right, three) of my wheels got dent/bent to a point where it feels like my car's running on moggles during high speeds. bmw said that the wheels are more susceptible to hard impacts because the run-flats, unlike regular tires, have a solid sidewall and more stiffer in general, so hard hits goes directly to the wheels. sucks really, had the car for a week and i'll probably have to throw a couple of grand for new wheels and tires (not sticking with run flats anymore).

anyone know if the warranty covers the stock wheels? i got that warranty that covers the run-flats, wonder if they'll be nice and cover the wheels too.
