Any idea what issues I will see if I run these on a 20"? Front: 255/35R20 Rear: 285/30R20
Any images of cars with 20" with stock sport springs? I am not planning to lower my car, so not sure how the 20 will look. Thanks!

I know some members here have 285/30/20 rear without any but 255/35 in the front, you might get some rubbing on the inside. As for pics of 20" on stock sport, I'm sure you can find lots of pics around, especially in the gallery section or search for those wheels threads.

Thanks alot, what is the norm for fronts? 235 or 245? Will lower offset help with preventing the rubs from the inside?

I also have a 535i with sport suspension and I have 275/30/20 Rear and 245/30/20 Front, only time I've ever had any type of rubbing issue (inside scraping top) is if two people are sitting in my rear seats and I hit a huge bump or dip in the road going 40-50mph. The rims I have are 20x8.5 20x9.5

Thansk alot guys.
The rims I am looking at is 20x8.5 and 20x10. Haven't decide on which brand to go with and might go with 20x9 front depending. I was looking at some used tires with the sizes I asked about.
