Need advice on tires for 20" on E90

HabrecE90 · 05-12-2009, 11:01 PM

Hi. I'm thinking of putting 235/35/20 Nitto tires on my E90.
Will I have a lot of problems with rubbing?

Running on 20 x 8.5 wheels (35 offset) and H&R Race Springs.

A little rubbing would probably be ok but of course it should still be driveable.

235/35/20 is too tall......you'll definitely rub. 235/30 is better suited.....

i tried 235/30 and the tires are too thin.
what gave me hope was there were around 3 users here of 235/35/20 with a similar setup...i just think i'm a tad lower because of the race springs.

Normally people are using 245/30/20.
