I was wondering if you are happy with your purchase? Also if you could do it all over again would you do anything different?
I had 20" GFG's on my car but they were rubbing on all four corners (Wrong offset.) The company I bought them from lucky refunded my money. So I have been in the market for some new rims(don't want to deal with rubbing.) Usually I drive my 545i pretty hard. I know 19" rims would be in my best interest but I love the look of 20's. Any help would be great.
Lastly any Ppctures of your Car with 20's would be very helpfull.
-thanks

Also, do you have any rubbing issues?

I have 20" HRE's on my ride with H&R springs and I don't have any rubbing issues. I drive my car really hard too and the 20"s hold up with no problems at all. Just make sure that you have the correct offset. The company that you're buying your rims from should know what the offset is, so should the autoshop that puts the rims on, unless you're doing it yourself, which I don't recommend b/c you should get your car re-aligned after installing new rims on. Also, if you're getting 20"s make sure the tire profiles are low, thats also why you might have been rubbing. I am using 245/25/20 Pirelli PZeros in front and 295/25/20 in rear. Hope that helps. :thumbsup:

Choi, your ride looks sweet man. Do you really notice a difference on height with the h&r springs compared to the sport package springs?

Roost, can you post pics?

Umm well I have had 2 puntures already well only one and today I decided to take my rims off for the winter and found a nail in the tire good thing I found it soon enough... tire didn't even look low I was surprised... Mine don't rub I have a 20x8.5 and 245/35 tire in the front and 255/35 in the rear... but whats odd is I still have a pretty big gap from the car but I have seen other 5's with the same thing and it looked alot lower.... so i htink i gotta lower... well for the 20's its fun to show off but its a pain in the ass to drive with them on... I finally am having fun driving again with the stock wheels on but I still love the look of my 20's...

choi000: Which shop in SoCal did you buy your rims from? Also how is the ride with the H&R springs?

dwdrums00 11-14-2004 01:40 AM

choi000 BTW, Pirelli doesn't make a 295/25/20. They do on the other hand make a 285/25/20. Also your front tires are probably 245/30/20 or 255/30/20. Just trying to help clarify for myself and others.
