10.5 wide in front???

ok so I'm thinking of some ideas for a set up. My question is, if I were to do 20x10.5 in the front, what offset should I get? +27mm or +42mm?? I know the front tires will have to be stretched so I'm looking at either a 235 or 245 series tire up front. How would this work. Right now I'm lowered on B&G springs. Any help on this set up will be good.

20x10.5 up front is going to be really tight. +42mm with a rim that is 10.5 wide will probably rub on the strut. So you'll have to go with +27mm. However, that is definitely going to rub on the fender.

The most aggressive setup on an e92 I've seen on this forum has been 19x10 et22.

neither one of these set ups will work from what I can tell. As mentioned earlier, the 42 is gonna rub strut and the other will hit fender, and you cant roll the front fender of an E92.

This is more for show presents then anything. The 10.5 up front would not be driven on daily. I was wanting a deep equal squared concave look on the car. But, the clincher, didn't want to spend $1000+ per rim. I can't justify paying that much just for wheels, and then I would have to add tires & TPMS to them. So I've been looking at other options. One of my options was a only gave an option of a 10.5 wide wheel in these specs.

nah I don't want to do that. That way to much money. I'd get a set of $4000+ rims before I do that.

20x10.5 in the front seems just wrong to me.

I believe this e92 has 19x10.5 in the front.
