Anyone running 245/35 285/30 R 19

I am thinking of running 245/35 and 285/30 on a set of 19" wheels that are 8.5 and 9.5. I believe ET is about 35 on both.

I was wondering if anyone is running this set up and how they like it. If you are i would love to see some pics. I would also like to hear your experience with the set up.

The reason i want to go with the wider wheel is for the additional side wall.

I'm running something similar.
I have 19x9 up front with 245/35 and 19x9.5 with 275/30 in the rear with 5mm spaces to push the wheel to the edge.
I only get a little rub over huge bumps.
I have a pre-LCi e90.

I'm running 245/35 /19 x 9" in the front and 275/30/19 x 10" in rear.

Occasional rub on the rear, but this is due to tire design and my rear shocks were done. Never had any rub with Hankook v12s.

Once I switched to Falken's I'll get a slight rub on big dips but only with passengers. Nothing alarming, and if you are running a 10" rim width on the rear I would recommend nothing less than 275 tire. Anything less will just look stretched.

On the front used to run 235s but had a stretched look on a 9" rim and I hated it. Now running 245s Continental and covers the rim perfectly, with absolutely no rubbing during turning or dips.

I am running on stock sport suspension, E92 335i.

With my offset I didn't need at spacers at all, the wheel is absolutely flush with the car.

Thanks for the input. I ordered the hankooks and made an appt to have them installed Wednesday. I'll update with pics once they are on.

Tires are on. Rub on most larger bumps. Also rub in the front while turning into steeper driveways. Here are crappy pics from my phone.
