Need to know what size tires to run for my 20" BBS CH-R wheels, 20x9 front and 20x10.5 rear. They are 24mm offset all around. Tirerack website recommends 245/30/20 front and 295/25/20 rear.
Question is can I run 245/35/20 front and 285/30/20 rear with out rubbing? I have a 2007 550i with sport stock sport suspension. Let me know what you guys think.

You should be fine. A lot of people are running 245/35/20 285/30/20 on the forum w/o issues.

Will 235/30/20 be stretching the tire if I run it on the 20x9 wheel in front? Looks like I'm gonna go with 235/30/20 front and 285/25/20. I got a great deal on some Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires in that size what do you think

I am running 235/30/20 Hankook v12 on my HRE's up front. No issues. There is sliiiiight stretch but not very noticeable. Keep in mind all tire brands had different widths even if the width measurement is the same. ie Toyo and Falkens have more rounded edges which allow for slightly more fender clearance.

Do not go with anything else.

If you can find a 295/30/20,that would be awesome, but it is not a common size.

I have been doing research and the manufacturer recommends from 8-9.5" wheels on the 235 series tires. I think I'm gonna run 235/30/20 front and 285/25/20 rear. I also just might roll my fenders

I boght iforged wheels with 245/30/20 and 295/25/20 and they were all bent up. Those sizes do not offer much protection. You will bend your rims if you run a series like that. I ended up selling the tires becasue of this. If you decide to anyways, fender rolling is not required. My next set is going to be 245/35/20 and 285/30.

Anyone else think the wheels will get bent with these sizes?
