Does anyone out there know what would be the best tyre size to go for without any rubbing issues on a 2004 530i sport after purchasing a set of DPE rims. Rim sizes are 20"x8.5" & 20" x 10" & most probably go with H&R race springs.

Thanks
Matty

Matty,

To stay within BMW specs, you should be fine running
245/30/20 fronts and 285/25/20 [or 275/25/20] rears.

I've got the same 20" wheel size front and rears and
those are the sizes I'm running (285 rear).

Other folks are also running 245/35/20 fronts and 275/30/20 rears.
These sizes give the wheel a little more rubber and protection.
