I was looking at some 20" M6 wheels, the guy is trying to sell me 295/25ZR/20 for the rear. How would that look and fit?

Tried to put 285/30/20's on my 535i Sport, and it rubbed like crazy. I'm not going to risk rolling the fenders and cracking the paint, so I went back to the 275.

beesh

Not that I'm an expert or anything but it depends on the tire brand and ur wheel offset. a 295/25/20 tire is an inch shorter than a 285/30 and a 1/2 inch wider. a 275 is still taller than a 295. I would not put a 295 on my car. not enough side wall for me. I wish I can go w more side wall upfront but I cant. may be when I go to coilovers I will go w a bigger side wall over all.

Cool, thanks for the advice! I think the tire brand was sumitomo and if this (if I choose to get them) will be my first experience with them.

So you get zero rubbing with 285's in the rear? Even with passengers?
I'm about place my order for the tires.

beesh

ASpec818.. Sorry I did not get back so quick. I usually carry a lot of tools and equipment in the trunk. Rarely do I have rear passengers and when I did have, I did not rub. But again I have factory sport suspension I'm not dropped at all. my car is also a 525i...I think 535s and 550s are lower.... this is my situation and I hope all works out for u.
