I think I will stick by my primary plan and go with the Breyton GT Race 20"
But now, which tires should I get... Michellin, Pirelli, Dunlop, Bridgestone, Goodyear
Front 245/35/20 or 255/35/20
Rear 285/30/20
Who has experience in these exact tire-sizes, recommandations.....
Should I go for 245 or 255 in the front? What are the (dis)advantages??

My Ride: 2007 E60 530i
Color: Jet Black/Black Anthracite
STEP | Sport | Premium | NAV | Logic 7
EXTERIOR:
M-Tech Kit | M5 Mirrors, Trunk Finisher | Jet Black Kidney Surrounds | Madico Charcool Tint 54%, 35%
LIGHTING:
Euro-Headlights | Euro-LCI Tail Lights | AiB V3.0 | Solaris Invisi-bulbs | OEM LED Plate Lights
PERFORMANCE:
Porterfield R4-S Brake Pads | K&N Air Filter
WHEELS & SUSPENSION:
Work VS-XX 20x9, 20x10 | Toyo T1R 245/30/20, Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 295/25/20 | KW V2 Coilovers | Rogue Engineering 15mm Spacers
255/35/20 and 285/30/20 will definitely rub if the fenders are the same as the E60. I would recommend 255/30/20 and 295/25/20. That's the setup I plan on my next set of tires.
Otherwise, 245/30/20 and 285/25/20 is the correct rolling diameter. If that's too thin for you, go 245/35/20 and 275/30/20.

My Ride: 2008 Alpine White 550i Sport, Cream Beige Interior, 6-Sp Manual - retired 9/2011
Grab some Michelin PS2's....awesome tire. I don't recommend the Bridgestone Pole Position RE050's that seem to be popular...had them on my xi with 19's...found them to be loud, however they held their tread well.
Get the best mix between performance and what you can afford. Check tirerack.com for their ratings on performance tires....PS2's IMHO are the way to go.
Can't wait to see the finished product.....good luck!

The brand used by the Z4 owner is Pirelli Pzeronero and he has 285/25/20 in the rear.
Is this a good tire, how do they perform on a sixer?
So far, one advice for PS2...... other recommendations????
How are Dunlops these days? I got an offer with Dunlops.
