Tyres to fit 20" ?

V1_R · 08-23-2010, 03:18 AM

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 ??

Gavin@MMW · 08-23-2010, 03:21 AM

run a 275/25/20 tire out back, a 235/or 245/30/20 up front.

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.

ooo you might be right there bud

Yokohama USED to offser an advan option in that size, but not any more.

a 285/25/20 nitto invo would fit basically the same

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.

henrik_rexten · 08-30-2010, 03:52 PM

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.
