Please HELP me with Tire Size and Rim Size

[otisdawhino]

I just got a 2008 E60 535i with the premium package and the sport package. I absolutely LOVE this ride. It has 99k miles and I had it checked out by the dealer and it is rock solid (besides the ole carbon buildup on the intake valves) and has had all maintenance done since day one by the dealer. I want to add some VRM 701 wheels. I have a question about the size rims I need. Mine has 18" rims now (see pic) but I want to upgrade to 19" rims. I have a few questions if you dont mine indulging a newbie (Ive actually owned 5 BMWs in my lifetime and my sons and my mom drive Bimmers). Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated and thank you for this forum...its AWESOME !!!!

My tire sizes I have now are below. For some reason it came with brand new tires but two different brands. see below:

Front: BF Goodrich 245 / 40zr18 93w

Rear: Yokohama 275 / 35r18 95w

Questions:

1) If I move up to a 19" rim, will I have plenty of clearance ??
2) What size rims do I need for the front and back ?? Width, offset, or any additional info I need ??
3) Give me some tire ideas for front and rear (type, sizes, etc.). I am assuming that if I move up to a 19" rim I have to go low profile more than it is now, so give me some good ideas.

I appreciate any help you can give me.
