Hello everyone.
OK so I have a question about proper tire size. Im buying a set of staggered 20" rims this week ( 20x8.5 20x10) and i need a little help with tires.

i know its rather peoples opinion or preference on what tire sizes to get, i drive a 2007 530i non sport. am i ok with 35 series in front and 30 series in the rear???

anyones input on this will be greatly appreciated.. just want a semi decent rise thats pretty comfortable. im not planning on lowering my 5 so just want a good size tire. thanks a lot everyone.

To be honest, I'm in the same boat. From what I've seen, standard for 20" is 245/35/20 front 275/30/20 rear. If you're not lowering, I think you can get away with 285/30/20 rear for a wider look.
