Any photos from any of the sides?
I now need new tyres very soon as I am on 4mm and was just about to purchase the 265/35R19 and 235/40R19 today but still not sure about rubbing. Car clearance will be around 15mm higher and the arch gap will be 15mm shorter so on paper it should work.
With the size you've got I'll have around 3mm more clearance and 3mm less arch gap compared to my current setup 255/30 rear and 225/35 front.

Did you find out what the difference means?
OEM sizes of 225/35/19 and 255/30/19 give a 14mm difference in circumference front to back, I'm about to hit the button on 235/35/19 fronts and 255/35/19 rears on OEM 326m's as per recommendations on here but that gives a difference of 44mm in circumference front to back!

Bear in mind 326s are 8j front & 9j rear.
Ideally 225 35 19 works well on the fronts . I tried 225 40 19 on previous e89 & had very minor rubbing when pressing on
265 on rear 9j ? 245 or 255 is ideal width so if you must go 265 then go 30 profile .
I had 255 35 on my 326s & for me it's the best all round fitment for comfort + wheel protection.

I had thought the consensus was to step up to 235/35/19 Front and 255/35 Rear on the 326's when moving away from the RFT's?

A) I've got the sizes wrong? and
B) The big difference in overall circumference front to back, or doesn't this matter?

Size is fine, the only difference is your front wheel. Which is 10mm wider than what Mr Wilks posted. Probably cost slightly more, but performance wise should be the same, or at least very very similar.eff1guy wrote: ↑Fri Jan 12, 2018 2:55 pmI had thought the consensus was to step up to 235/35/19 Front and 255/35 Rear on the 326's when moving away from the RFT's?

Ive no doubt the 235 35 will work fine & without issues but generally speaking that size would be for 8.5j 19s & not 8j .kis wrote: ↑Fri Jan 12, 2018 3:09 pmSize is fine, the only difference is your front wheel.
