Got my wheels delivered and still debating on a tire setup for 08 535. 20x9 front with 18 offset and 20x10.5 20 offset. Any suggestions?

Depends on what you're looking for, price range, comfort, treadware, weight etc...For Max Performance Summer, Continental DW for ride comfort but not as responsive as Michelin Pilot Super Sport

See Meas.RimWidth for range of tires for your wheel sizes http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....remeContact+DW

This is good source for any tire brand.

Thanks! But What do you think about running 245 35 front and 285 30 back? Any rubbing?

I ran 245/35/20 and 275/30/20 on 20x9 and 20x11. Oh, i m on coilovers too, so had to roll fenders and rubbing is minimum only with heavy load and big dips. howerer my tires were not proper for such wide rims so sidewall cushion was an issue on bumpy road. I know better now. so suggested See Meas.RimWidthfor proper tire setup.

I'm about to buy the same setup of wheels but it is on 255/30/20 front and 285/25/20 rear. Will this fit my E60 535i?

When you had the 245/35's up front and the 275/30 on the back, where did you have the rubbing?

I'm thinking of going from 245/30/20 front and 285/25/20 rear to a set of tires that have more sidewall.
Wanna go with 245/35/20 and 285/30/20 but I'm thinking the fronts might rub.
