326 M sport alloy - alternatives to RFTs

Your wheels will be staggered, meaning that the rears are wider than the fronts. So the tyres currently on will be 225/35/19 and 255/30/19, front/rear. I am ditching the Bridgestone RFT myself, and will put PS4S on in 235/35/19 and 265/30/19, but this is subject to much debate. 255/35/19 rears is also an option.

So I am about to make the change....regarding the debate...presumably 265/30 is wider with lower sidewalks but that can potentially cause rub. The 255/35 is narrower and has a higher sidewall, so better comfort, doesnt look as good/even hight...does the hight make any difference at all to look or handling?
 
I made the move to 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 (PS4S) and there is zero rub and the ride is transformed. The look is spot on, 255/35/19 rear would IMO be too tall, but others use it and are happy with it. The RFT on the E89, especially in 19”, is an abomination!
 
Ok cool thanks, bit more expensive even on the kwik fit 10% discount but I'm tired already of the thuds, especially with the roads getting worse by the minute.
 
Fitted today and took then down the potholed road to the supermarket for a big 5 minute run. I can already tell the difference. Hopefully transformative for the £625 outlay :)
