I'm going to be running 245/30/20 F 295/25/20 R tires as recommend by tirerack. Rim size 20x8.5 F 20x10 R but I'm thinking 10.5 R just haven't decided yet. I would like to know what would be the correct offset for my 2005 BMW 545i sport pkg. trying to avoid rub but I know I'm pushing it to rub with does sizes. Any help appreciate Thanks!
Also thinking about getting eibach springs

295 is wayy too wide, on a 10j you should run a 275... offset for a 10j to avoid rubbing around et12

295 is too wide for a 10", its just a tad to big but will work. I would suggest 285/30/20 on a 10" wide wheel for maximum benefits of tire and performance.

I agree, 295 is wide for 10''. I run a 285 on mine.

So 285 for 10". But what about for a 10.5" 295?
