Luke-
Im interested in a set for my OEM set-up. From the looks of your list- it only looks like they will make them to fit the front....but not the rears?
Can you confirm?

Thanks!

you could run a 275/35-19 on the rear 9.5." OE wheels with the fronts ... not the absolute best option but, it would work. I find that many M5 opt for the 305/30-19 rear along with a 275/35-19 front but, that requires wheels which are wider than the OE 8.5" / 9.5" combo. If you wanted to explore that we could do something right now ...

will do but, I am not so sure that the info in that post is correct. We have received all of the size info for the February 2012 release and there is not a 285/35-19 or a 295/35-19. There is a 305/30-19 but, that does not fit the OE wheels
