It depends on the drop, what tire, and if on an F80 or F82. For the most part you can on both cars, on the f80 if you go too low then you have to worry about rubbing

What is better for our cars? 19" or 20"?

Objectively, go 19s if you want the lightest setup. Go 20s if you prefer the 20" aesthetic. Go 19/20 double staggered for the CS/GTS look. The weight swing is 16.5 to 17.5lbs front and 17.5 to 18.5lbs rear.

The special thing about what BBS did here is offering FI-Rs bespoke to the F8X M3/4 which remain the lightest, strongest and stiffest forged aluminum wheel product on Earth backed by arguably the most well reputed wheel maker on Earth.

Akin to the 911 GT3 being engineered within their motorsport dept led by Andreas Peruninger, the FI-Rs are also a product of the same BBS brains that design stuff for their most important organizing body called Formula 1 led by Thorsten Welte.

It'll be cool to see the next evolution of the FI-R in the FI-R Evo that G8X M3/4 owners will soon enjoy. I still personally prefer the og FI-R which has a more elegant look than the even lighter FI-R Evos.

Thanks.

I am leaning towards 19" front and rear.

I can't speak to Falkens, but tire size wise, I'd do same specs if going 19s all around (same diameter PS4S @ 26.32").

I placed an order myself for 19 fronts and 20 rears shod with the tried and true 265/35R19 + 295/30R20 PS4Ss.

Edit: It should be noted that F8X M3/4s have a smaller front compared to rear tire diameter roughly in the range of ~.5" - .8" from factory.
