I feel ya bro Yes, as others have said going with profile 25 in the rear and 30 in the front is the way to go. The problem I am having with this set up is that there seems to be few tire choices that have both the front AND rear sizes. So far I have only found pilot sport, pzero, and a couple of other premium tires with the staggered sizes. Can't really afford those right now. Wanted General Exclaim UHP but... they have rear size but not the front. The widest 20" I could find with 30 profile was 225!

just checked out tire rack seems that they have some new additons to the general uhp sizes...thanx for the help

I just ordered rim with the following tire set up

Tire Size: 245/35/20ZR front, 275/30/20ZR Rear


Are they going to rub on a 530i with sport package?

I just installed my 20's. Because it's a Touring, I went for 8.5J all around, with 245/30/20 Dunlop Sport. The wheels are et20. There's no ubbing, and even the comfort is ok (just as bad/good as with the 18 inch rft's).
