Alright kids, I own a 328ci with 18 inch 225's at the front and 255's at the back. i want to buy new 19 inch wheels. I like the BMW replica wheels like M3 EVO, M3 CSL, MV2's and the new M6 wheels. Most of these wheels are 265 wide at the rear. Will these wheels rub??! Can you tell me what wheels sizes will fit and how much I can lower the car without rubbing etc cheers!

I cannot be 100% accurate on this so i'll keep my mouth shut!!! but welcome anyway! Any pics???

They might fit but will be very tight especially if you wanna go very low.

19 with 265 at back should not rub unless it's a convertible and is lowered. the offsets between 35~38 will be fine

Welcome aboard. As has been said, 265 tyres on a coupe with the right offset should be OK. Pretty sure others have used this tyre size with no problems of rubbing. Worst case scenario, you may have to get the arches rolled, but that's no biggy.
