245/45/19 and 275/40/19 on 11 msport?

Will these work with no rubbing issues? Running the OEM 351m staggered wheels. Want a little taller sidewall. Only thing I found was a thread for a 650xi I believe it was. Just wanna make sure before I order or someone with pics even. I know the overal height will be an inch taller. But as far as rubbing up front. I believe the ones in the rear will be fine. Thanks in advance.

No issues with those sizes!

Fills the wheel wells very well since the diameters are 3.5% taller than OEM sizes.

Perfect, I knew it would fill the wells a little better. So looks like I'll go this way. Any other opinions are welcome! As well if any pictures.

The only effect will be that if the overall diameter is 3.5% bigger (as .BMW. stated) the speedometer may be slightly off. That is the reason people try to stay within 3%, anything over will make your speedo off. The difference would be minimal, but it will be there. If you're good with that, then those tires will work fine.
It is more of an effect on larger tires like 20", where those sizes tend to be intended for light trucks (pickups and SUVs) rather than cars.

I use 245/50-18 (same diameter as 245/45-19) as winter setup. The speedo show correct speed, checked with GPS.

All BMW's show a few percent higher speed than actual with OEM tires sizes.

Here is my F11 with 255/40-20 (almost 5% taller than OEM size) for reference.
