Vossen's to big?

I was thinking bout getting some Vossen's for my e92 but they only come in 20's and up. You guys think it'll rub to much?

20's IMO are too big for the 3 series. If you have a 7 series then yep. That is just my opinion.

Word. I probably wouldn't even be able to lower my car at all.

Car wasn't designed for 20s; they make zero sense from a handling perspective. You'll be running razor thin tires so rough roads will be a concern. From a looks perspective ... that's all opinion.

True. I'll probably go with 19's or 18's but I just really like how they look

I had a set of 20's.....bent couple and had continuous issues. The rears are 285/25/20" rubber, and that is a BIG problem in NYC. Sold to an E60 who has a lot more rubber for that setup. They were 3 piece forged, excellent rims but no good for an E92.
