Widest Tyre on OEM 19" M5 Wheels

Has anybody fitted wider than standard tyres on their e60 M5 with OEM 19" wheels?

I am trying to determine whether I can go down a profile on the fronts without bringing up any warnings or wrecking my speedometer.

As far as I can see standard set-up is
255/40/19 Front
285/35/19 Rear

Any suggestions?

This topic has been discussed in many differet threads several times. Search the board, and you'll be able to decide for yourself.
The best bet would be to stay with the OEM size, but some member have had 295 setup in the rear without any issues.
