if Vossen, 19x8.5 ET30, 19x9.5 ET40 with 235/40/19 & 265/35/19 for xdrive
if HRE, the sales rep suggested the correct specs. tire size for xdrive, 235/35/20 & 275/30/20, or 265/35/20 if not available.
imo, your local tire guy advice is spot on, i'd get 19" Vossen
all your meshy type choices will be difficult to clean and keep clean, jus sayin'..
even if less practical, you should get what you want, though. you want the feeling of "Yesssss" with no regret, when you look at your car ^^

the 20" tire sizes are taller than OEM and will fill the gap, so you will have less gap to reduce. ALSO, you do not want to lower too much because, the half shaft angle changes and pulls the shaft out slightly, so x-drive should not be lowered more than 38mm. ideally, just lower the least amount necessary to achieve the desired appearance.
Bilstein monotube design dampers tends to ride firmer than twin tube "macpherson" type dampers. for coilovers i'd go for KW. there a bit more expensive but will have a better ride. again, the less you lower is better for the front axles.
tbh, your case i'd just do, Eibach Pro-kit RWD(or x-drive, lil higher) lowering springs with F80 bump stops and retain OEM adaptive. here some threads of a few on Eibach Pro-Kit on x-drive, some with adaptive

AF was a typo I should have said aftermarket. I don't want to lower it if I don't have to. I didn't know if I could get aftermarket TPMS sensors.
Are these the coilovers you were referring to?

What springs should I get if I'm not concerned to about lowering it, should I still get the Eibach springs?
