I need some suggestions on tire sizes and manufacturers to get for wheel sizes 20x8.5 (front) and 20x10 (rear).
Here is what I'm looking at so far but would like some feedback and pictures (if possible) for combinations that have worked for you...
Pirelli PZero Nero: 245/30YR20
Pirelli PZero Nero: 285/25YR20
Michelin Pilot Sport A/S: 255/30YR20*
Michelin Pilot Sport A/S: 295/25YR20*
* The dimensions recommended by Tirerack.com.
Thanks for any help.

hey bro...for what it's worth....
i quickly threw on some 20's on my 545 after i bought it....after learning from experience on my prior E39 2001 540 i didnt go wider on the tire......this time around i kept the same size as the stock i believe 235 front n 245 in rear and did 9 in front and 10 in rear.....IT"S AN AWESOME FIT.....i was afraid that by going wider to 285 i would rub again like on the last car.....this car i can drive agressively even WITH people in the car and i rarely rub.....
for the third time i used NITTO 555's.....can't say anything bad about them.....
cheers...
jack in so cal....

Thanks jack.
This is exactly why I was looking at the 245/30 and 285/25 tire sizes...I don't want to rub that rear fender which kept happening with my previous car ('91 Toyota MR2).

Well, I did a little research and found that the Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 is the tire I would like to get. The only issue is they have them in 255/30 and 295/25 sizes. This is slightly wider in the front and rear than what I was expecting to buy.
Anyone already running this setup with 20" wheels?
Are the tires rubbing your fenders?
