20 inch? Wtf
So a friend wants to trade his 20" BBS. Pretty aggressive.
I have an e92 xi. It's going to look dumb, right?

At least you can run 30. The 25 makes it look like you don't have tires.

I wouldnt do it. Too much rim. Maybe swap for his BBS and sell them (if they are legit BBSs) and then buy whatever rims you want?
just an idea, i love your current setup though.

20's work on the e92 with the big ass wheel arches. On the e90 they look super weird.

Not only the large arch.
But the stepped lip of the bbs looks really good. BUT can you handle the ride? I really want to run 20" BBS LM-Rs but I'm worried about the right. People say you need to run 30front 25 rear... Plus taller bump stops to prevent suspension travel. is this true? Because it would lead to a very hard ride wouldn't it? |

Don't forget that is also an m3. 20" on an m3 is nothing.

Yea, for about a month a couple of years ago. They came off like a prom dress and were promptly sold, and I bought my current 19" 199 blacks

For a daily driver I would be too scared to go to a 20" rim... LM Rins with a stepped lip look much better in a 20" IMO, but a 19 does look better in most rims.

20s work/look okay when they have a step lip.
with a flat lip or no lip (like the CX-R), it just looks ridiculous on any e9x
