Hello,

I am considering a 20" wheel upgrade. My car has sport suspension. 2005 545i 6sd with Sport.

I am planning on going with the BBS RS-GT. Tire rack suggests 20"x8.5 +15mm and 20"x10 22mm with 255/30/20 and 295/25/20 tires. That seems like an aggressive size for the rear. Will it rub on stock susp?

I looked on BBS's website and it says that fenders might require rolling and has all sorts of disclaimers about fitment.

Thoughts? Anyone with this combo?

Thanks,

Tom

Running OEM 20s with an offset of +24 with the following setup:

Wheels:
Front - 20x9
Rear 20x10

Tires
Front - 255/30/20
Rear - 295/30/20

The rears rub with the 30 series tires. But once you roll your fenders, you'll be fine. The 25 series didn't rub on my car, even with luggage and passengers. You should be fine with that setup.

Thanks! So you ran 25s at one point? No Rub at all?
