u think i should try to make it work?

please dont hijack this thread to put down 20 inch rims on a coupe. i know the down side of 20 inch rims and i know 18 are practical. but i want opinions on this set up. thanks guy







20x8.5 front

20x10 rear

35 offset all around

i was gonna go with a 245/30/20 front and 295/25/20 rear but has anyone heard of a 305 in the rear? i know long tried it b4 at a sema show but he really never talks about rubbing.


keep in mind this is gonna be on a 07 328i coupe. depending on if i go 295 or 305 i will prob lower it on h and r spring.



thanks guys

Anything beyond a 285 rear tires will not work on a coupe.

Even with a 285 (Falken)(20x10 +34 or +40), some people still had to roll or shave their fenders.

295 is too wide, you have to go 285 to be safe

Roll your fenders and you'll probably be fine...

Technically to keep it close you would need 285/25R20. You are going to be way bigger overall bigger diameter at 30 or 35 aspect

I don't think it will work with a 35 offset in the rear.

.

If you go 285 you need to get a 25 series tire! I run 285/25 on a 20 inch wheel. The rear has a 38 offset and I still slightly rub lowered on KW v2!

What exactly is the offset? An aggressive offset and it will hamper your decision to go above 275/285......

And if you are not using coilovers, the chances of rubbing are high as well.
