I have a 2007 E92 335i and I am looking to purchase a new set of rims. This is the specs for the new wheels:

Wheels:
BBS LM Style (Miro)
Tires:
General Exclaim Ultra High Performance

Wheel Bolt Pattern:
5x120 mm
Wheel Center Bore Diameter:
72.56 mm

Front Setup:
19x8.5 in et 35 mm with 235/35
Rear Setup:
19x9.5 in et 40 mm with 245/35

With 19inch rims will I need a new suspension set up so the tires do not rub? What other things should I be concerned with?

Thanks,
Matthew

With those sizes and offsets you should be concerned about nothing.

Some food for thought would be:

Maybe a 5-10mm spacer in the rear for a better fit. Et 40 isnt the best offset on a 9.5"
a 10mm may require a fender roll depending on tire size and the answer to the below questions.

If you dont have lowering springs or coilovers yet, you might look into them. Sometimes the car looks a little awkward with stock suspensions and 19" rims (sport package is still kinda tall) but if you like the look, then no need for it.

No according to the numbers that are listed are according to the ad.
What would be the ideal size that fit the E92 without spacers/ Etc?

Thanks,

a 245/35 is fine for the rear, a 265/30 is also good. its a toss up and is all your choice really.

I personally run the 245 out back, I feel it rides better then the 265/30 does.

Go with a 265/30/19 tire in the rear. As far as the stock suspension goes, you'll be fine with 19s on stock sport suspension. I run 275's on a 10" rim with stock sport suspension and haven't had any rubbing issues. The ride height is fine with me, doesn't look that high. Here's a shot for you:
