Mentioned tire sizes of 255/35/19 and 275/35 for the rear - 19s are required to clear CCB. So let me get this straight - you have to spend $$$$ to save a few pounds but then you are required to put heavier wheels/tires on? Doesn't that defeat the purpose?
IIRC, the froged 19" 220M on the E9X were lighter than the baseline cast 18" rims. Plus 19" tires are less heavy than 18"...

...will need to do an actual weight comparison of the 18" and 19" on the F8X before we can draw conclusions here.
