im going with 20x10 and 20x8.5

will the 295 25 20 rub? i know these things have been adressed but so many people say yes, no, yes, no, im not sure anymore

will it be best if i run 275 25 20 or 285 25 20

Im running HR sport springs i don't have the sports package so my drop will be the full 1.4 in the front and 1.3 in the rear.

I want to buy the tire with the best look, that will not rub

i just dont want my setup to rub.

i finally went forward and purchased my springs will get those done this weekend then the wheels are a set deal, i just need the tires.

I am running 275/30/20 and I have rubbing on the rear when going over large dips or cornering fast. I need to have the fenders rolled. I bet the smaller side wall won't rub. I was just not brave enough to run 20 series tires.

My Ride: 535d Sport, carbon black, media pack, visibility pack, grey leather, heated seats, sun protection glass, voice control, Eibach ProKit, 19" 166 style wheels, e-maps ECU remap to 325hp and 640NM, top speed limiter removed

Much more important than the tyre size is the offset of the wheels. What are the offsets of the 10x20 ?

I run 10x20 ET20 on the rear with Eibach ProKit and 275/30/20 Toyo Proxes.
Have just been to germany over Easter and with weight of 4 people and a full boot going over all sorts of different frequency motorway bumps and dips at speeds in excess of 100 mph there was not the slightest catching at all. Same with 5 people in the car going over speed bumps in town. That is without rolled arches.

ollie i see you rolled your fenders if i do so then i might as well go with a wider tire as i already have to roll my fenders i might as well go with something that will look aggressive.

opinions?
