Ordered 21" rims, what tires should I get?

Hi!
I got 21" wheels for 2016 535i M-sport (BBS FI-R , front 9 ET20, rear 10.5 ET40) and now I'm not sure what tires should I get? Car not lowered yet but I was planning to get coilovers. Please advice.

It is. I got conversion to central lock from previous owner, he had Porsche wheels. So ET is normal or I should call them and confirm correct sizes?

So your BMW F10 has center lock for Porsche wheels? But there's still no BBS fi-r in 21" other than the 21x12.5 et48 that I know of.

With a 21" wheel won't it look like it has rubber bands stretched around the wheels? I would be very concerned about bending easily.

i've had my 21's for almost 5 years now i think. i wouldn't say rubber bands for tires but there's still enough tire on them for me to travel from Ohio to PA for MPACT. My daily driving tho i only drive in areas i know. i try not to venture off areas i've never been to.

these are on 255's in the front and 295's in the rear
