Currently on stock rims and 225 all around tires.

Upgrading to 245 in the front and 265 in the rear for the tires. Need suggestions on rims

nice ride! colour-wise, i think a graphite grey or some other dark shade would be a great contrast on that red. looks great with all the black bits!!
what type of wheels are you looking at?

Not exactly the same car color, but I love love maroon/red cars with bronze wheel finishes. Two very complimentary colors in the same warm tone look really good together. Ferrari pulls this off with spectacular results.

Bronze or grey IMO.

Careful with those tire sizes, it's actually not possible to run 245 and 265 staggered on an xDrive since the diameter difference will be too large no matter what. I would highly suggest a square setup instead, 245 or 255, it will handle better too.

Definitely a gunmetal/anthracite would look amazing on that color. Nice car also!

Stay sillver, your red already has dark shade, you have Base bumpers, so stay simple.
Silver Step wheels should look very good.
Or you want something different, Gold

yes as Antetokounmpo said, you need to do some research on tire size compatibility with xDrive.
try this website: https://tiresize.com/calculator/
put fronts as size 1, rears as size 2. if the rolling circumference is >1%, the setup is not viable.

Honestly any color would look good on this car
You can definitely stay with silver but I personally go with anthracite or grey

The bronze looks really good. The only other thing I would do is black out the silver fins next to your fog lights.

I think either of these V801 finishes would look amazing on your E90!
