Default 20x10 on front???

Hey guys, So Im wanting to get some 20s for my 550i, I know for a fact I can fit 20x11 in the rear but I just wanted to know if I could fit 20x10 in the front just so I can have a bit more concave on the wheel, anyone know if its possible?

I have 20x9 in the front, and I use a little heavier tire too becuase of my crappy RI roads. 245/35/20 instead of the recommended 245/30/20 and I have 0 rubbing.. And my car is lowered 1.5". So seems like you'll be close, especially if you do a 30 tire. May be possible.

What are the offsets on your wheels? I have 20x9.50 ET6 with 245/35/20 for the front and they rub a bit on dips if I don't slow down. I don't think I can go any wider on the tires for the front. I am running on BMW OEM sport suspensions.

I think it is going to be tough to squeeze those under there. Are you rolling the fenders?

I have 20x10.5 on the back of my 535i sport, and the 285's rubbed like crazy.

Hey Tex,

What is the ET on your 20x10.5? I have ET 13 on mine and often wondered if I could go from 275/30/20 to 275/30/85 on BMW OEM Sport Suspensions.

If I have to roll them I will, no problem, I just wanted to know if it was possible throwing them on there, I would have to check the rims offset and tire size so I dont get any rubbing or at least minimun rubbing, I live in az, the roads here are ok no pot holes or anything its all nice and flat.

Well, I don't think an 85" rim is going to fit...

The rear offset I have is +15. I could probably run 285/25/20, but they were so low profile that I didn't want to chance it on Houston roads. Plus, it just looked ridiculous with the 245/30/20 on the front, since the front had more sidewall.
