Let me ask the question a different way.
Anyone running 19 inches from VMR on their 2011, 135i.
19 x 8.5 F
19 x 9.5 R
With 35 profile.
If yes, any kind of issue.

I have 19" vmr vb3's. In normal driving conditions they are perfectly fine, however, when you have people in the back or a full tank the arches do touch the back wheels if you hit a bump at speed but if you drive carefully it's no problem. I am planning on getting the arches rolled within the next month to try fix this. I'll let you know how it goes.

I'll put some picture up on this thread when I get to a pc

Let me know if you want to heard anything else

The spec of mine are 8.5x19 front and 9.5x19 rear and the tyres are 225/35/19 & 245/35/19.

Check this site out:

going to get these guys to roll the arches there should be a similar company around you that does the same.

i would say 225/35/19 & 245/35/19 didn´t match
you should go with 245/30/19 for rear

Our recommended sizing for the 1 series is a 19x8.5 +45, 19x9.5 +50 on a 225/35/19, 245/30/19. It won't give you any rubbing if you're at factory height

Pm send about the profile.
Is it an issue if the tires are all 35.
Or the rear as to be 30.
Thanks

I would recommend running a 30 profile as it's within your factory specs. Running a larger sidewall will change your speedometer. You want your overall diameter to be with 2-3% of your original specs. Check out http://www.1010tires.com/tiresizecalculator.

Input your tire sizes and what you plan on getting. Here is what I've come up with:

245/35/18 - Stock size

245/35/19 - Speedometer Difference: 4.048% too slow,
Diameter Difference: 3.89%

245/30/19 - Speedometer Difference: 0.131% too slow
Diameter Difference: 0.13%

I'd assume the most common setup One series owners use with 19' wheels is 225/25/19 fr and 245/35/19 rears. I had it on my car for a while and didn't really notice any speedometer, etc issues. The reason it's the most common is it's very hard to find anything that comes in 245/30/19 (actually I don't know anything that does) or 255/30/19 and a 30 profile is more expensive and scares some that it will be so short and make the car more susceptible to rim damage.

One funny issue for me was my 245/35/19 rears rubbed way more than my current 255/30/19 but a lot of that was due to variations in brands.
