Hi Guys,

I'm kinda new here. I have a 2008 535xi everything stock besides JB4, RPI, and black matte grill... I was wondering if anyone has done 20s with ET13 and ET25 on their cars? I was directed to this website oemwheelsplus.com I know it is going to be either spoked out or very flush depending on the tire size you choose.

This is the website : http://www.oemwheelsplus.com/bmw/20-...heels-set.html

anyone has any suggestions? will it work? or should i go with the 19s where with ET 40 8.5 front and 9.5 rear and prolly use some spacer to bring it more of a flush look?

When I make my decision on purchasing my wheels, I will be installing them with H&R sport springs with Bilsten Shocks, so that it wont look like a 4x4.

someone had suggested me that the 20s with the aggressive offset will fit but with stretched tires, where i am ok with. My last ride was very aggressive. He told me that i can get away with 225/35/20 all around front and rear.

what do you guys think? any suggestions?

Ahh ... you're talking about style 166 rep ...

Try take a look at the pics in this thread => http://forums.5serie...15597-new-pics/ it's a 530xi w/ the real OEM 19" style 166.
See how far those sticks out and just picture it the same layout w/ 20" + lowering springs as your plan.
To me that doesn't look like it's gonna be flush especially up front as the most I've seen maybe ET25-30.

GL!
