Hey guys, I'm about to place an order for my wheels and tires, just wanted to clear my choice with the everyone here that is much more knowledgeable than I am on wheel/tire fitament.

My car: 2008 535i

Wheels: Eurosport Monza's

20x8.5 et15 for the front
20x10 et20 in the rear

Tires:Hankook Ventus V12 evo

245/30/20 front
295/25/20 rear


How does that setup look? I am looking to be as flush as possible without any rubbing. Thank you for your help!

Those wheels are a good offset to sit flush to the fender. The 30/25 series tires are rubber bands. I had the same set up with my 20's and the ride comfort was pretty bad. Alot of the members on here with 20's upsize the tire series to 35/30 with 20's on here. I'd go with 235/35/20 or 245/35/20 and 275/30/20 or 285/30/20. Otherwise be careful and alert at all times for potholes!!.

The Eurosport Monza's are SICK! I have them on my car. Make sure however you also order HUB RINGS as they are not perfect fittament for our cars. This caused me much consternation upon first install as we believed them to be HUB CENTRIC. There are places to buy them in So Cal but if not, order them from Ebay.

Good Luck and Enjoy those Rims!

That 20x8.5 et15 front and 20x10 et20 setup is going to look perfect on your E60. The Eurosport Monza has been one of the most popular wheels with my E60 customers.
They all love the aggressive fitment! Tire wise I would recommend you go with a 245/35/20 and 275/30/20 if you don't plan on lowering the car that way you will get the best possible ride quality.

Here are some pictures of one of my customer's cars:





PM coming your way.

Bump, OP...any pics of the wheels on your car?

I'm looking at getting a 20" staggered Eurosport Monza setup as well, but am unsure of the offset. I have a 545 on sport suspension, so I dont know that et15 and et20 would work. Modbargains, could you chime in? What is the setup on that last picture ModBargains posted?
