Tire size help with 437m Reps

Hello all, I bought a set of staggered 437m replicas from eBay yesterday and looking for the best tire size without losing too much ride comfort or deal with rubbing issues. Here are the specs:

2016 428i Coupe M Sport package

Front 19X8.5 ET35
Rear 19X9.5 ET37 - Got them to get the offset to ET45 for $30 extra each tire.

I'm going back and forth with 235/40/19 and 265/35/19, or the 35/30 set up. I'm pretty sure if I go the 35/30, I'll have to lower it since the gap will be huge. But I fear I'll lose ride comfort with thinner tires. Also depending on the look with the 40/35 tires, I still might lower it.

Anyone else running these setups? Pics? Advice?

You should be fine with 235/40 and 265/35. Or you can go to a 225/40 and 255/35 combo, will be stretched just a bit, but you will still be fine if you want to go lower later on.

Most people seem to go for the 30/35 combo, but there should be plenty of room for the taller tire since the offsets (35f and 45r) are not particularly aggressive.

Would I rub if I lowered it with the H&R Springs with the 40/35 set up? The one that drops it .60 and .50
