My Ride: 2004 545i
whatsup fellas,
my cousin was fortunate enough to offer me a sweet deal on some Miro M01s. they're 20x9.5 rear, 20x8.5 front. i was wondering what you guys think.
too big? perfect? any pics? photoshops? lastly, what offset is recommended to prevent rubbing? anything would be most helpful.
i'm in the process of finally starting my car project so again, everyone's opinion counts. thanks!
side note, i'm looking to purchase the new m-tech fronts from nerweezy soon... just a little info on what im trying to get at with my car.

Would be nice to know what car you have to go into offsets. Likewise, pics of your car would help people who photoshop. And a mention of what suspension/mods you're running would come in handy, I believe 
Generally, I think those are excellent rims and are not too big at all, but the rim sizes you mentioned are perfect. As for the tires, search through some threads for best info, but I think 245/35/20 and 275/30/20 front and back respectively should work, though some people go for even lower profiles 245/30/20 front and 285/25/20 in the back - but IMO its unnecessary, unless you go with 21s.

^my apologies. im runnin with a 2004 545i. my car is all stock, so i was hoping you guys would also like to share your pics of your 5 with CSL repps such as these miro's.
and thanks for the info. i was thinking of doing 245/35 (f), and 275/30(r ) like you mentioned. i was aiming to have my car this low: (sorry for the stolen pic. saw it in the classifieds. what can i say; its a beautiful car)

You should be fine with 245/35/20 front, 275/30/20 back.
I don't have any pics with those rims mounted, but I'm sure in a day or two this thread will fill up with a whole lot of pics and lots of useful info on how to make sure you get the best possible offsets

ET40 offsets are for Xi cars (like mine, for example), you don't need to worry about those. The RWD cars have ET20 offset

I am not sure if the Miro CSL's are hubcentric, but the VMR's are for sure.
