Wheel & tyre sizes for E91

So im toying with the idea of changing the wheels on my 2010 E91 330d Msport.
I'm looking for something along the lines of these:

https://********.com/product/19-stro...-alloy-wheels/

Not necessarily these exact ones but this style. Im going for the look of this car that was recently in the clasaifieds:

https://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1753312

I have messaged the op about the wheels but no reply.

Anyway, it appears that with all the wheels on ******** there are different specifications for each one. Now I know very little about wheel sizings and specs, so my questions are:

What is the standard specs for 19" wheels that will fit straight on to a E91 LCI with standard Msport suspension, and what size tyres would be needed for said wheels?
Also would I need to replace the wheel nuts/studs? When I bought my car it had 18" Team Dynamics Jade R's on and I remember the previous owner saying that when he put these wheels on he needed different wheel nuts to what were used for the standard MV3's.

Thanks in advance,
Nick

Not sure what all the ***** are for but the wheels I have been looking at are the CSL / 359 style wheels from cm wheels.com. They seem to do a number of wheels in this sort of style.

Yes I've seen that. It only states the M3 though. I'm sure I've read somewhere that some fitments won't fit the E91 compared with the rest of the E9x range.

19x9 et31, 19x10 et38 thats the one that car was running. Lower offset = sticks out more therefore more likely to rub the arches.

Rear tyres 265/30/19 i would say fronts would be something like 245/35/19

Yep thats the sizes that are ok on the E91 lci. I heard back from the guy who had the E91 in the classifieds,
plus I've been doing a bit of research and emailed a few companies. I believe the problem with the E91 lci is that the rear track is 8mm wider on each side compared with the rest of the E9x range and indeed the pre-lci E91. Therefore care has to be taken when chosing aftermarket wheels.
All thats left now is for me to set about talking myself in to parting with a substantial amount of cash for a new set of wheels and tyres!
