19 tyres size questions (RWD)

Hi all, recently purchased a set of for my RWD F30 lowed with coilovers with the following spec

19 x 8.5 ET36
19 x 9.5 ET36

I know that 235/35/19 and 255/35/19 would run without any rubbing issue, however I would like to have beefier rear tyres, does anyone know what is the largest size that I can run without rubber issue? thank you!

Not sure about the max size for rear, but you should definitely do 245/35/19 front instead of 235/35/19, i went from the stock 225/35/19 to 245/35/19 even on the OEM 8'' wide 19'' wheel.

Do you have any photos of the front?

The simplest conversion that will provide you extra beef is 235-40-19 and 265-35-19. This will also have a very low change in speedo error, if even recognizable, which it won't be. I am adding these to my car now. This combo will add more beef front and rear and keep front and rear at almost identical overall diameter.
