Help with wheel fitment please..

I'm rubbish at this stuff...could somebody please tell me if this fitment is correct and will snuggly fill the arches on my F32 428i M Sport ? , I may also be lowering the car on H&R Sport Springs.

19X8.5 ET35 FRONT FITTED WITH 235/35/19 TYRES

19X10 ET38 REAR FITTED WITH 265/30/19 TYRES


Also should I be asking what brand of tyre they come supplied with as I believe this can also make a difference.

the oem diameter is 26"

fronts:
235/35/19 = 25.5" less diameter and more gap between fender and tire
235/40/19 = 26.4" more diameter fills the wheel well
245/40/19 = 25.9" closest to oem diameter and best fit on 8.5" wide rims

rears:
265/30/19 = 25.3" diameter, more gap, slight stretch & shortened gearing
265/35/19 = 26.3" diameter, fills the wheel well more, slight stretch
275/30/19 = 25.5"
275/35/19 = 26.6"
285/30/19 = 25.8" closest to oem diameter and best fit on 10" wide rims.

Your car looks great!, I thought f32's had a slightly different fitment to f30's, is that because they are slightly wider ??

From what I've been told from a buddy in the wheel industry, and who has measured this directly, the F32 and F36's have around 2mm more in clearance in the rear than the F30's
