Was looking in my logbook, and the last service says the tyres were too big for the wheels on the rear. I have e90 m3 wheels they are 19 x 9 and the tyres are 265/35/r19, is this the right size? If not what is the correct tyre size? I get a whole lot of running in the rears at the moment!! Maybe a 255/30??

Yeah sorry, auto correct I meant rubbing. On the front iv got 245/35/19. I was thinking 255 / 30 will be a nice fit, I think 245 will be a bit of a stretch. Oh and it's rubbing on the inside of the guard and maybe looks like its rubbing a touch on the rear bumper.

What size are you running on the front? I would run a 255/30.
You should also work out where you're rubbing, most of my rubbing was coming from the clip where the fender meets the rear bumper which won't necessarily be cured by a skinnier tyre. Tape up your fender with masking tape, go for a drive and see where the rub marks are.
