My Ride: Current - 330 Sport Topaz Blue, Grey Leather, HK HIFI...lost interest!!
Waiting for - 535d Sport, Silver Grey, Foldy Mirrors, 172 19",Logic7,Pro Radio,Through load,Heated Front Seats,High Gloss shadowline,Black Maple,Headlight wash,Sun Protection Glass.
I'm 90% sure that I'm going to get a set as summer wheels for my new 535sport when it comes (subject to summer being around in Sept/October).
Thought I'd ask the collectives thoughts on 20" wheels and any technical advice on sizes. Pics of the wheel on the following, scroll down to see the RS3 click and you get a nice close up. Look good on the Z4 alongside.

Fox Racing RS3 wheels have an option of 8.5J and 9.5J front and rear. loads of low cost tyre options on

I think 245/35/20 front with 275/30/20 rear, does anyone think wider or is there a chance of rubbing? Ive based this on the width sizes of the 19" 172 OEM options i was going to get, like Merv the Derv has.
