My Ride: 2004 545i 6spd, blk on blk, HRE 540R 20x9 in front and 20x10 in rear with Pirelli PZero Neros 245/25/20 front and 295/25/20 rear. H&R springs, and Eisenmann quad exhaust, V! radar detector, black grille, limo tint all around.
So I'm looking to get some new tires for my 20"s but I'm trying to figure out what sizes I should get. My previous tire size was 245/30/20 front and 285/25/20 in rear, they were too low of a profile for me... as a result I got bent rims and blown tires when I ran over a pothole in downtown L.A.
Anyways, to get to the point what tire sizes are those riding on 20"s using? Are you having any rubbing issues and what brand tires are you using? I am looking at getting some Michelin PS2's. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Yea, I think I will go with 245/35/20 front and 285/30/20 rear with Michelin PS2's and have my fenders rolled. Hopefully I won't have rubbing issues and the tires aren't too low profile that I'll bend my rims again. Thanks guys for the inputs!
