What size tires for 20" Rims?
#1
I picked up some Black 20" CEC rims on E-Bay for $450 new plus shipping, not my first choice on style but they will do!
I'm looking for the largest tire that will fit without rubbing! the offset is 22 on rear and 15 in front! the rims are staggered 8.5 front and 10 in rear!
I can get some Falken tires 245/35zr20 & 285/30zr20 for a good deal but searching on here it is unclear if they will rub! Adam
Pic's of the rims!

Only 245/30 20" F and 285/25 20" R will do!

Those tires are for the M5, not the 550i or lower.

They are
Folks who run 20-inch 35/30 series do it for added protection to the wheels.
But the proper ratio is 30/25 to maintain as close to the BMW specs.
