Tire & Wheel Setup Advice Needed G42 M240i

Hey guys, I was looking for some advice or help on a tire and wheel setup I want for my 2024 G42 M240. The tire setup im looking for is 245/40/19 front and 275/35/19 for the back. For the wheels I was thinking 19x9 et28 for the front and 19x10 et30-33 for the rear, but as I was looking for wheels i've found thats its sort of rare to find those size wheels with those offsetts and its more normal to find 19x8.5 and 19x9.5. So should I keep looking for 19x9 and 19x10 or would the 8.5 and 9.5 be just as good, better, or worse?

Putting 245 on a 9in wheel is gonna be stretched, it fits perfect on an 8.5

As a general rule, if you want to max specs you'll need to get custom wheels with custom offsets. I agree you are going to have a much higher selection of wheel options with 8.5 and 9.5 widths.

245/40/19 rubs on the inside edge of the tire on the fender liner, most noticeable turning in reverse. I have not yet decided if I will modify the fender liner.

After driving the car on 245 square, I'm not sure I would bother with staggered tires, handling characteristics are nice with square.

Okay thank you so much. What about the 275 tire would 9.5 fit better than 10? And what do you mean about the rubbing issue im new to modding cars so im not exactly sure what you mean? Also how do I go about getting custom wheels?
