Help with tires please

Hi, I'm new to the forum. Came from an E46 M3 to an E90 2009 AW. I'm going to put my Morr VS7s previously used on the M onto the E90. I know the tires will have to be different but not sure what measurements to buy. I don't have plans for coils or modifications to the fenders.

Here are the Morr measurements:
They are 19x8.5ET35 fronts and 19x9.5ET28 rear.

I'm under the impression that the best would be 235/35/19 front and 265/30/19 rear. Please advise and feel free to suggest better set up. Thanks in advance guys.

You should be fine with that setup. If you rub in the rear, just roll the fenders and you'll be good to go!

Is there a better set up. Also I really don't want to roll fenders. Anyone here have the Morr vs7s on their e90/92?

Thanks. I have also been reading on the forum that for lci e90s the rear wheel base is wider. Hence people having some trouble with the rear tires rubbing when using 265/30 that would normally work on pre-lci cars. Can anyone confirm this? Should I use 255/30?

Secondly the front tires on Morr vs7s in most threads are 235/35. Can someone confirm this as well?
