Decided to go with 20' M6 replica wheels and need advice on tire size. The guy doing the install advised me to do 245/30/20 for the front. Does anyone have a 20" with 255/30/20? He said it is too aggressive and will rub.

I found the following quote on Miro wheels "The 20mm offset works excellent on the new 5 / 6 / 7 series BMW models. On the 20" x 9" rim I recommend tire size 255/35/20 (10.04x27.03)"

255 will rub. Don't do it. BMW specs are 245 front, 275 rear. :thumbsup:

@ lorinzo - I am going to go with 35 series on the front. In that case, I can get the Yokohama S-Drive series tires which has pretty good reviews. Based on my search for 30 series tires, it is limited to get matching sets. Going up to 35 series, I get more of a variety. Wheels were said to arrive tomorrow, but looks like the weekend, so have more time to research tires.

@ bornsg - Thanks for the tire link ;)
