Wider wheels on 540i?

I've got 635 style wheels (picture included below). I believe they are 19x8, based on what I found online. Does anyone know how much wider I could go with new wheels? Also, what is the largest tire size?

Basically, I'm trying to determine if I could decrease tire gap and get a more aggressive stance by switching tires and wheels instead of looking at spacers and springs. I don't necessarily have a problem using spacers, but I don't think I want to lower the car or change the stock suspension.

If I could widen the stance with spacers and put larger tires on existing wheels, that's something I'd look into as well.

I'm new to exploring all this, so any input/advice/experience is appreciated.

You can go 9.5" in the front with a 275/35/20 maximum size but it would poke without lowering. 9" 265/35/20 looks the best IMO

Thanks. I should have specified, I'd like to stick with 19" rims (new or the current ones). The roads in my area suck and I'm afraid 20's would get destroyed.
