Max Wheel Size and Tire Width for 2016 340i xDrive?

I am looking to buy the Apex Wheels ARC-8s for my 2016 340i xDrive. I am wondering what the max wheel size and tire width I can go in the front and back. I have the track handling package with the blue M brembo brakes and on OEM 19" staggered wheels, however, I am trying to switch to a squared setup. I was looking at either getting the 19x9.5 or 19x9 option for the wheels, but I don't know what is the widest I can go without rubbing or any modifications to the fenders. Also, I already have 255/35/19 tires in the rear, if I buy two more 255/35/19 tires to go in the front since I want a squared setup, will they fit?

I don't know the answer, but have you reached out to Apex? I think they can offer good advice.

in the link below is a F36 with 255/40/18(26.0") on 18x9.5 ET35 square, the same 3-dimensional tire "footprint" as a 255/35/19(26.0"). at ET33 yours would be poking 2mm more. there will be no rubbing issues.

added link to slicer's F31 with 255/35/19 ET35 lowered, no rub. your's would poke 2mm more and have 2mm more clearance from the strut(a good thing), which is pretty damn close at ET35.
