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

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 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.
