***Tire Size Help!!!***
I just got a set of rims for my 328. 20x8.5 in the front and 20x9.5 in the rear, staggered setup. What size tires should I use? Does 245-30-20 in the front and 275-30-20 in the rear sound about right? Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Here's a pic of the wheels:

Well you have a chance then. Get tires that are 26" or less in outer diameter, 285 or less width. Ideal rear would be a 275/25-20 but I don't see those made. 285 is gonna be tight. May need a fender roll. 275/30 tall and may rub. It's 1" taller than stock. Be prepared to have difficulty beating a Prius at a light.

I looked on ebay. Saw nitto and accelera Of those I'd go nitto. What's the weight on them? Its cool but also surprising if they are lighter. Americas tire/discount tire sells nitto. I'd try them before ebay.

It can't be. A 275/30-20 Hankook tire alone weighs 28 pounds. Your looking at just wheel weigh . Your probably going to add 20-25 pounds+ per corner. Unless the weights you have for stock are wheels only too.

I looked it up. An on 158 328 wheel weighs 20.5 lbs tire us about 22 lbs. So your going from about 43 to 56 rear if thats your stock wheel. Not sure which wheel you have or where you got numbers.

The 245/30-20 is probably a good fit. Look for tires with an outer diameter of 25.5"-26" and a width of 235-245 front, 265-275 rear. Those fit on my e93 OK. Not 100% for 4 door but I think it's good.
I have 235/35-19 on 19x8.5 et30 front and 275/30-19 on 19x9.5 et35 rear. No rubbing. I'm going to 245/35-19 on 19x9 et.30 front and 305/30-19 on 19x11 et42 rear. Should fit with a fender roll. |

Yeah, width, sidewall height and diameter right? Anyways, I ended up buying 245-30-20 for the front and 275-25-20 for the rear. Hopefully that works. Had to go with the Accelera's, those Nitto's were like $700 a PAIR lol. Couldn't do it.
