I was wondering if any e60 experts out there can help me with this?? I have just purchased a set of 20"x8.5 front(+18), and 20"x9.5 rear(+22). and now looking for tires?? I am thinking of 275/30/20 for rear and 245/335/20 for front. I want to try to stay away from 25 ratio tires for a little better ride comfort. My 2009 535I Sports package is lowered with Eibach springs. Does any one know this will be a good setup?? Will 275 rear look too unagressive?? or should I go 285/30/20 rear?
Also, anyone know what might be best tires of these 3?? hankook v4 es, Federal, and Nexan?? all these brands are about same prices at local shop.
Thank you.

Falken FK452 - 245/35/20 & 275/30/20

Using the Falken you should be able to go 285/30/20 no rub
