Apart from some minor fender rolling at rear to accomodate the 285 rubber, no issues what so ever...

Here's one with 235/35/20 on each corner.

Personally I think 20s are impractical for Sydney roads. Lots of people with BMW 19" wheels and RFTs crack their rims, just ask your local tyre shop.

I agree with you, although i really want these rims, although i still dont know if they will fit well on an E90, if not im going for 19's.. when u say 'they crack' is this because they are still running RFT's with their 19's..?

I think it is possible that the RFTs place additional stress on the rim, but don't take that as fact, since I am no expert. Maybe tyres pressures are a factor with some people that have problems.

235/35 tyre in the link I posted is the same height as normally used on a 19" front rims so shouldn't be any more prone to damage when used on a 20". The wheel diameter will be larger though. Extra height has been known to cause rubbing on the front with some 19" tyre combinations, but according to the owner it does not in his case. He states they are 235/35 but I thought they look like 235/30, so maybe that is worth checking.

In the link it seems like the wheels are Linear Course Z20 in 20x8.5, so the offset is probably ET35.

He is using 10mm spacers on the rear.
