I've jumped around the forum a few times in search for help or just helpful information regarding the E89. What's the max wheel size, will this wheel and tyre combo fit, etc etc. So I thought id start a thread so people can just post all the information they have regarding their alloy and tyre size and get the answers they want.

My apologies, if there is already another thread out there, do direct me twoards it that ould be helpful. But I'm going to go ahead and start it off as Im quite stuck.

Vehicle Info: E89 2.3i stock suspension non-m sport

Looking at alloys and tyre setup for purchase from a newer 5 series:
Front:245/35/19 19x8.5 J
Rear:275/35/19 19x9.5 J

Will the alloys fit ( I feel like the fronts will fit the rears may be questionable) what would you guys recommend the setup should be. If I was to purchase the alloys what tyre sizes should I go for?
 
You really need to know / add the offset numbers which ideally for a E89 8.5j + 9.5j would be between et 35 & et40 ,
front tyres can be 235 35 19 though you may be ok with the 245 depending on offset , rears seem a bit excessive on 275-35 for a 9.5j & from my own experience 255-35 or 265-35 will be fine .
The rear arch liner on the E89s is a governing factor even if the car isn't lowered , its a defined lip that protrudes as opposed to flush & going under et35 along with 9.5j/10j then adding a larger tyre could well cause chaffing on compression .
