    :o

    if you look at the rear 19s on an m3 with std m3 fitment 255/35/19 the tyres are almost stretched, 265 will fit (so will 275 but not recommended) and imo gives more grip and more rim protection, id only do it if you plan to change the fronts soon aswell tho as they will be out slightly (speedo etc) if your fronts are std fitment
