what size tires? your opinion?

hi everyone!
i need some help about tire size.
i have got an F30 sport line 320.
factory rims and tires are 8/18 -34 front and rear rims with 225/45/18 front and rear tires. (i know you all know about this but anyway..))...)
i have already ordered 19" Z-performance-6 rims with 8,5/19 -35 front and 9,5/19 -35 rear size.
now my question is; is it ok if i buy 235/40/19 front and 265/35/19 rear tires for those rims or should i go for 225/40/19 front and 255/35/19 rear?
what are the plus and minus for both sizes?
i am asking this because i dont like very much how 225/40 - 255/35 tires look on 8,5/19 - 9,5/19 rims. i think it is ok if you lower your car. as soon as i wont do that, i guess looks better with 235/40 - 265/35 tires.
if anyone has same size rims and 235/40 - 265/35 tires, please upload pics.
thanks!

this is the Z-performance-6

I'm in the same situation as you. I have some 19x9.5 ET35 rear rims that I want to fit with 265/35 tires. I am a bit skeptical as to whether I will have rubbing issues or not.

235/40/19 front and 265/35/19 will be great. I run on 235/35/19 front and 265/30/19 and find the tyre profile too thin.

There are some running 245/40/19 and 275/35 and they look great too: http://www.f30post.com/forums/showth...highlight=m310

Edit: -35 offset for 9.5 rears are quite aggressive. They will not rub unless lowered
