Hi mate, if you have factory 19" rims the main reason the factory tyre sizes are different is the sizes are staggered meaning the rear rims are slightly wider than the front rims (not by much)

I personally have run 245/40/19 front & back for the last 4 years out of 6 years of owning my V36 & have seen neither a noticeable increase or decrease in handling from the stock tyre size. That tyre size fits perfectly on both front & rear stock 19's & are as close to factory rolling diameter as it comes.

Hope that helps

Same for the sedans 18" sports. Rears are wider but I run 245 all around.

Ok thnx all for the info makes life easier....

the 18in coupe rims are the same size all round, yet run wider tyres on the rear too, so it isn't just related to rim size.

As long as you don't have any rubbing issues on the front guards with wider tyres, then I can't see any issues with going to 245s all round.
