275/30/19 normally is a good square tire all around.

Do you think going with only a half size smaller than you that theyll rub? They only make them up to a 9.5.

the opposite, half inch smaller is LESS likely to rub.

I just put a 275/30/19 square setup on running 19x9.5 +22 . Fits really well with 12mm spacer on rear, didn't need it but looks better. At first I thought it looked funny coming from a rear 295/30/19 but now I really like it.

Looks great. Thank you

I'm thinking of going with 245/35 19 and 285/35 19 on my E93. I would love to have 255F and 295 R, but I prefer a little more rubber profile on my tires.

I'm going thru the same process, trying to find the right setup for looks and performance. I like 35s profile for more rubber on the road and smoother ride.
