new in the scene looking to buy rims

I recently purchased a 06 325xi and the stocks are just not cutting it, came across a set of staggered 20's that came off a 545i. they are 20x11 and 20x10, would these fit on my ride with the right tires?

I highly doubt those would fit, even if the offsets allowed it would still result in a mexiflush VIP stance. You would need some extreme modifications (e.g. aggressively stretched tires, pulled fenders, aggressive camber) which wouldn't look good IMO.

20s look big on our cars, most E9x cars are running 18s or 19s, with 8.5-9" in front and 9.5-10" in back. Offsets are most important though.

This is what a BMW 3 series with 20's looks like to me. Lol. Just don't.

before you buy anything make sure you know the xi tire rules plenty of threads and charts on how to keep the sizing within speck so you don't trash the drive train

Your 325xi will look and perform well with 18" wheels. Do your homework, I believe the front and back need to be within 3-5 percent in diameter or you may damage the transfer case.

Within a 1% difference with the rear being smaller, if any difference.
