I have e92 m3 with 19 volk rays ze40, 9.5 et 22 and 10.5 et 35, for rear used 15mm spacer. Now im using 245/35 and 275/35. The front tire pretty stretch the rear bit stretch.

Im planning to get advan neova ad08r
For the rear i will used 295 30
Should i use 275 30 or 255 35 for front? I like profile 35 think it more comfort but will it stretch tire? I dont want any rubbing

a 275/30 and a 255/35 tire have a very similar sidewall height. The "35" is a ratio not a fixed height. In other words the side-wall height comparison is: 275 x 0.30 = 82.5 mm, while 255 x 0.35 = 89.25 mm. The 255/35 is taller by 6.75mm. Not sure whether you will feel the difference in ride quality. I would personally run a 275/30 in the front but that will require about -1.6 degrees of camber.

You know as well as anyone how much it will be stretched considering you are currently running 245/35 on the same wheels.

I heard from my friend is 275/30 will rub inner fender?

Slicer's comment in regards to sidewall height it correct.

275/30-19 will fit just fine on a 19x9.5" ET22, many of our customers run this same tire on 19x10" ET25 wheels up front. Depending on vehicle ride height and tire brand, you may slightly scrub the fender liners at full lock or upon compression, but overall this is a good fitment. We do not find that negative camber is necessary, however it certainly helps gain extra outer fender clerance.

In the rear, you may need to reduce the spacer thickness you are currently using to somthing a touch slimmer, like 12mm or 10mm. Wait until you get the 295's mounted, and you can uninstall the 15mm spacers at that time if need be.

275/30R19 will fit perfect on a 19x9.5" ET22, but as the above poster said 19x10" is also a pretty fantastic option!

Not to thread jack, but my wheels are 19x9.5 et28 and 19x10.5 et23. Is 265/35 or 275/30 better for the fronts? Will probably be running a 5mm spacer in the front. I'm thinking 295/30 is the best for the rears?

Personal preference really, as both will suit the 9.5" wheel properly. We typically match 265 fronts with 285 rears, or 275 fronts with 295 rears. Depending on the brand of tire, availability may come into play.

Yes, the 275/30-19 AD08R's can be used up front with your 19x9.5" ET22 wheels.

In the rear, I would first mount the 295/30-19 AD08R's and then test fit without spacers. These tires run a touch wider then your average street tire, therefore its best to get an idea of what type of rear fender clearance you are working with. Once you have a benchmark, you can measure from the tire to the rear fender edge to understand how much room you have for a spacer. Depending on your ride height and alignment (camber settings), I would say 5mm or 10mm spacers can be used.
