I'm new to the forum and new to being a BMW owner - so please bare with me as i find my way around. I am looking to getting 19s for my car and have been receiving conflicting information.

The dealer tells me to put on 225/35 in the front and 255/30 in the rear, but tirerack says 235/35 and 265/30.

Any thoughts or recommendations from those who have 19s?

Thanks for the help!

I believed some members on this forum had done the upgrade and is do-able.

Tirerack does state 225/255 for the OEM 19 inch optional wheels. What wheels are you getting??? This might help us out some...

What wheels, what width, and what brand of tires.

Going with 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 is fine. It offers the correct stock stagger from front to rear so you shoudn't have any issues. Myself and many others run that size set and I can tell you firsthand that it's ok.

I am not sure what brand of rims yet - but I'd like to get a 19x8 in the front and 19x9 in the rears

I thought the optional 19's were the same for 330/325... Why would they say wider tires for 325 in comparison (to what I would think the same wheels...) than a 330???

They don't. I ran it for both the 325 and 330 and got the same optional sizes..235/35 and 265/30. I'm not sure how he got the other sizes to come up.

I keep getting :

325i sport package tires: 225/45-17, 255/40-17

330i sport package tires: 225/40-18. 255/35-18
w/optional 19's: 225/35-19. 255/20-19

Weird...I just pulled this, it shows the same thing for both the sports and the non sports.
