Tyres to fit 20" ?

Hi All

I have a E92 335i.

I need help with which tyres to fit on the following staggered set wheels?

20x8.5 +40 front
20x9.5 +40 rear

I am guessing 245/30-20 and 265/30-20 ??

Re: 275/25-20

Tirerack.com - Sorry, there are no tires available in the size you selected. Please select a new size.

I'm thinking 265's to be safe??

285/25/20 is much more common than 275/25/20. I've only heard of one 275/25/20 and that was a Dunlop tire.

I would recommend 245/30/20 fronts and 285/25/20 rears. This setup may require some slight fender work depending on your alignment and tire manufacturer.

Falken make some in 275/25 too, and a couple others.

285/25/20 Nitto is what I ran on the rear of my 20's (vossens)

I see that Falken makes a 275/25/24, but no 275/25/20.

The setup that would work is the 245/30/20 in the front and 285/25/20 in the rear!

The number calculations of these sizes looks great. 2.7% front and 2.07% rear.

The Radius of the new tyre/wheel combination is nearly 10cm greater than stock 18". Does this mean my car will sit 10cm higher?

I guess you mean 10mm, then it will sit 5mm higher and has 5mm less gap to the fender.

Remmib is right.
5mm les gap, and it looks lower.

Here you can see. 8,5-20 245/30-20 and 10-20 285/25-20 Et 40 front and back.



And the 8,5 and 9,5 18. 225 and 235/40-18. Suspension in same hight.



the winters are et20 front and back. No rubbing at winters or summer.
