Wider rear rubber on E93

I'd like to get some wider rear rubber on my E93. Currently running the stock 18's with 255/35, open to new 18 or 19 inch rims.

Rubbing is not acceptable. What are my options? What are folks running?

The OE rear wheels are only 8.5" wide, so 255/35R18 is the max recommended on those. If you go to 9" or 9.5" wheels, 265/35R18 will be no problem. 19X9 or 19X9.5 will allow you to use 265/30R19 or possibly even 275/30R19.

If you decide to go with a 9.5 wheel, a good offset to keep in mind would be anywhere from +30-35. With these offsets, you can go from a 265 or 275 tire depending on manufacturer. Some tires offer a more rounded sidewall while others have a squared off sidewall.
