New wheel and tire setup, help!

Hey guys so I've read so many forums on this, but I've never really seen a solid answer and or reply, so I'm going to put my own thread and maybe one of you guys can help me on my problem.

I'm replacing my wheels and tires from my F30 335i and I'm going to

Front: 19/8.5/ET 35
Rear: 19/9.5/ET 40

My problem here is the tires, I don't know which size to get. I've read about but still not 100% sure if they would fit without rubbing and look good on stock suspension are:

245/40/19
275/35/19
Tires would be DSW06

My problem is, I want to keep the stock springs for now but I want to fill in the wheel gap (just a little since I'm not lowering) to look decent, not like a monster truck at least, and of course I want to avoid rubbing. I've been trying to do my research the last weeks about it, but I'm really not 100% if this would rub, tires would be too big and would look poor with stock springs/suspension.

If anyones has an opinion or prior knowledge on this topic I'd love to hear it! Thanks for the help

What exact chassis do you have? The standard passive without M Sport? If yes, the height (and wheel gaps) should be the same as my adaptive M on x-drive, I guess...

I am running 19x8.5/ET35 & 19x9.5/ET42 with 245/40 & 275/35. When compared to stock staggered 19", this setup:
+ increase the grip and reduce the understeer
+ improves the ride quality
+ improves the steering feel
+ fill the wheel gaps, is flush with fenders
+ protects the rims better
+ speedo correction

- less sharp turn-in
- less sharp brake pedal feel

+/- increase the height (lifts the car)

Very happy with this setup, few pics how it looks like:

Looks amazing man, I have the F30 BMW Sport Line 335i 6MT.

So not sure if its different but I think it'd be super similar if so. Are you on stock springs and suspension? With that setup there's no rubbing or no issues? I'd love run that setup on mine but the stock suspension and springs worry

I am on stock x-drive M adaptive, no rubbing, no issues. Wait for the confirmation of the fitment masters here, I expect no issues there:
