245/40 275/35 R19 or 255/35 295/30 R19

Please help to choose the best fitment for
Front 19x9j et25
Rear 19x10j et38
xDrive

My thoughts:
1. 245/40 + 275/35 - no problems with horizontal fitment, but the wheel is bigger diameter than stock sizes. It will increase speed, speedometer will show wrong speed. Increased clearance, not good for overall look
2. 255/35 + 295/30 - perfect 660mm diameter of the wheel the same as stock, but extremely wide. Don’t know how it will affect in turns and bumps.

What would you choose?

Guys from Apex wheels said that both sizes are applicable. And to be honest I prefer 255-295 set, not sure that 295 will fit rear. Because no one here said that he fit 295 in the rear of his g42. If someone have photos of this set installed - it will be perfect.

Nice love me some meaty tires. Crazy to see the m2 with 275 fronts 285 rears. How's the car feel handling wise with the new setup. Are you lowered at all? Also xdrive?

Took part in track day this weekend. Understand that hot tyres increase the pressure and lose the grip, so you have to manage it. But anyway it is much better than 225/255 winter set.

No lowering, stock suspension. Xdrive.

Actually if you watch one of misha’s videos on the m240i. One of the version is 295/30(maybe 35?)/r18
