20" would definitely fit with no issues, even if your car looks tucked in the front. By the way if the r/f wheels id tucking and your l/f is higher, You might want to check out your struts, Believe it or not it changes the ride height if its blown. I had the same issue with my sport suspension on my 545i, I thought it would'nt affect the height but it did. anyways, If you are planning to lower the car then I would go 20x9 et15 w/245/30r20 and 20x10 et20 to 25 w/ 285/30r20 and you can still dump the car low with no issues, But if your planning to keep the same height, then I would suggest 19" mainly OEM style, it just looks right. After market on 19" just doesnt look right unless youre going super aggressive wide wheels and willing to roll your fenders and dropping it really low. My buddy is selling his wheels 20" and his is lowered with eibach sport line 2" drop. check out my posting, its the same color as your car.Attachment 137592

Hey everyone what do you think of these rims?

These ones are pretty expensive but I found something similar with the tires and the price is pretty good, check them out

I'd like the oem 172's, but I can't find them anywhere, and other ones are replicas. Since I haven't met anyone who had replicas I can't be sure in the quality. I know Umnitza has them, for like $700 a set. Pretty good price but I'm not how's the quality. So for now I'm thinking these:

what you think? for new rims and tires (wide rear ones) $1699?

i think a few guys here on the forum have MRR GT-1's. i usually see them black with chrome lips....
one thing i'd recommend checking is the tire brand.... make sure you get a decent brand of tires and not cheap chinese-brand ones.

i had same stockies as u with sport suspension i put 20 inch vossen 082s on there with 245 30 20 fronts 285 25 20 rears. actually created unsightly wheel gap. so i dropped the rear 2.5 and the front 2. no rubbing no issues. ride a tad hard from low profile 25 series. but thats the correct size to get necause its right inline with oem specs. actually 295 25 20 is even closer but then you wont be able to tuck the tire in the fender. igot my tires from a local shop but most shops use wheelpros.com anyways. i pad 3200 for wheels tires mounted balanced installed. they are cast wheels forged woulda nealry doubled the price
