increasing or decreasing the width a bit isn't a problem, so the front tires won't change much.
increasing the height on the rear will make the tires look unusually thick, especially compared to the front tires. ideally, look for a 30 series tire, but if cost is very important, a 35 tire isn't too bad. tiny tiny drop in performance, but the rear fill feel smoother on roads with the increased height |

The front would be okay as the overall diameter difference between 245/35 and 255/35 is negligible at about 7mm. I do not think the additional 5mm width to the inside will rub as others have made this change.
The rear, however, is not good. Going from a 30 to 35 series with a 275 width increases diameter by over an inch (27mm). This will throw off your speed about 4% at 50km/h, but more importantly reduce the amount of torque you put down on the road by the same 4%. If you don't care about these things, I think it will fit, but your performance will suffer. |

However, the standard rear tire of 640i coupe is 245/45/18 so the total diameter of rear wheel is 26.68" . with new tire (275/35/20) your total diameter would be 27.57" which is 0.9" or 3.3% larger than the standard wheel... Your front tire is also 1.2% larger than standard which is negligible...

due to my wheels being bent, car being low and subsequent rubbing, i tried 245/30, 245/35, 255/30, 255/35, 275/30, and settled with 265/35 on an 11" rim.
which is to say, if a tire mounts and beads safely, you're really worrying about small differences in performance and fitment. and by fitment, i'm referencing all things like the diameter which effects speedometer and rolling distance, rubbing if you're lowered, and the appearence of proper fit versus stretch versus fat tire looks. and to be frank, unless you are doing timed runs, the performance changes are negligible. you lining up against an m4 or CLS63 isn't going to change |
