When the v703's arrive I will use my current tires as they still have about 50% of the tread left.
My question is, when it comes time to buy new tires, would I be able to get away with bumping up the size to 245/35 (possibly 225/40) in the front and 265/35 for the rear? Currently on stock sport suspension, may lower later depending on what I can get away with.
I know I can do 275/30 on the rear with no issue on an LCI with the 45 offset but I would prefer more sidewall. All the e90 LCI threads where people venture away from "normal" sizes end without the OP ever updating.
So for cliff notes:
e90 LCI
f: 19x8.5 et40 with 245/35 ?
r: 19x9.5 et45 with 265/35 ?

Front would be fine, since it has correct aspect ratio, but the rear i wouldn't recommend using 35 aspect ratio. Since it makes the front and rear difference to 2%. Stick with 265 or 275/30/19.
You know you can fit your current wheels also to your LCI.
