Hello to all my 5 Series brethren!!

I am in the process of finally making my purchase decision for wheels. I have decided on 20" Miro 111. I have noticed that some of the members of this forum have been running the staggered set up which is the following:

20 x 8.5 F
20 x 9.5 R

Also, other members are running a square set up:

20 x 9.5 F
20 X 9.5 R

Are there any advantages or disadvantages to running a staggered over square or vice-verse? I know that a square set up enables you to rotate you tires and have a wider tire in front, but I can't think of any other advantages. If you guys can give me some insight into this, it would be quite appreciated. Thanks

Most go with the staggered set up. Rotating them all seems to be the only advantage. I plan on getting my Miro's pretty soon, 19in. If you get the same size all the way around, the front may rub thats what some may say. Good Luck...I wish I were still in Cali...no snow, potholes. Perfect for driving these awesome cars.

i drive @ 20 x 10 and 20 x 9.5 :-)
it has a 285 rear tire , ... it fits nice on an e60 with M-suspension :-)
you can always adjust the camber ...

the 9.5 will look more concave. plus you get the option of rotating. will probably want to get some spacers for the rear though too.
