Guys and Gals,
I am in the process of looking for some new rims and I just wanted to know if I will encounter any problems if I use these tire sizes: 245/30/20 and 295/25/20. I got the size off of the Tire Rack website and just wanted to make sure that there would be no rubbing issues. I really don't want to have to roll the fenders so I thought I would ask all the experts here in advance. Any and all help is appreciated.

Many people have 285s when it comes to 20''.Not sure about 295s but the right offset of the wheel will do the difference.I am sure you will get more help soon

My Ride: 2006 550i
Build date 11/2005
options include:
cold weather package/ convenience package/premium sound package/ sport package/sunshades/Navigation/ V3 cradle/ OE 166 wheels/M-tech upgrade/M rear spoiler/ racemesh m-tech grill/racemesh kidney grills/M5 mirrors/M5 steering wheel/ HID fog light conversion/ M5 SMG paddles
I have the same car and I am replacing wheels/tires too. For me, its a stretch to move over to 285/30/19. Im going to guess that 295 wont fit without a perfect offset and a little bit of fender rolling...that has to be a pretty expensive tire - I dont think I would take the risk

Also you probably have to get your fenders rolled. Ive seen alot of 285 in the rear and 275 if u want to be able to still carry 2 to 3 people in the rear

Ive heard that it would work. But dont expect to be able to drive people in the rear.
