I have 19 inch wheels in my e90 M3 and I want to buy ContinentalExtremeContact DWS(Ultra High Performance All-Season) tires, but they only come in 245/35ZR19 sizes for the front wheel. I don't see the 265/35ZR19 size for rears.

Can I match them with 265/30ZR19 93Y on the rear wheels? I understand that my speedometer will be slightly of, but what are the other potential disadvantages of that setting?

Or maybe 275/35ZR19 is the better choice, but will it fit on OEM size wheels (9.5 inch wide)? If so, would it be better yet to match them with 255/35ZR19 in front (on 8.5 inch rims)?
