My Ride: 06' BMW 530xi

I just bought a set of 20" iForged Essens forged wheels fronts are 8.5" wide and the rear 10" wide my xi is dropped on H&R springs .. curious to know what tire size do you guys recommend? Due to the lowered price I was looking at getting 245 35 and 275 30 but I think it would rub plus mess up the awd (that's why a lot of Xi owners get 19").. anyway I checked out 1010 tires calculator it says 245 30 and 295 25 is the best combo but also over a grand to get .. what you guys think? And post some pictures of those 20s

I'll love to see it once complete because I also have an XI and it's so hard for me to come up with the right wheels choice. Once done please keep me posted.

I had 20's for 1 season. I want to get another set but 19's feel smoother. Regardless, I am definitely doing 20's this summer. Custom set up for the xi.. Probably vossens or adv-1's

Yes, I sure did. But I'll like to see in already mounted on an XI so I can make a final decision for next summer.

But thanks though.
