Best Tires for this width

I'm thinking about buying MRR HR6 wheels with tire measurements 245/35/r20 front and 285/30/r20 rear for my 2013 535i XDrive. Will this tire setup work on my XDrive? Also, which tires would you recommend (summers) for the best performance and ride quality possible?

Thanks!

Just a note that I forgot to put in the initial post, I am planning on putting H&R springs on my 535i in the near future.

For tires I'm a huge fan of Michelin PSS since their existence.

Tire sizes are fine. I'm running them on my X drive now.

I think 255/35/20 with 295/30/20's are fine also, if you want something wider

Michelin PSS are probably the best but very costly.
Many members here use Hankook Ventus V12's. Good tires, and more affordable

I was considering the Pilot SSs but I was wondering if they were available in this size : Tire Rack (I know, not the last site to check) didn't have them available for these sizes.

Thanks to all who replied!

i have MRR HR6 with Hankook Ventus v12. Got them because I felt they were the best bang for the buck for my needs.

Only other mod is JB4. Between the two, I'm pretty happy with the end result.
