Which tires for 20" rims?

azeemb2k · 09-30-2011, 07:44 PM

Hello

I have just bought these wheels from someone local:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/20-BMW-AVR...item3cbc4b184c

They come without tires so i need you guys help choosing tires, this is the size and specs of wheels:

8.5 x 20 et 28 pcd 5/120 rear
8.5 x 20 et 40 pcd 5/120 front

I was wondering 245/35/20 all round, my car is 320i e92 stock. I dont want any rubbing on the arches. What do you guys think?

In the advert above they come with 245/30/20 but i think these are too thin for the CRAPPY roads here in glasgow UK.

Thanks.

doubt youll have rubbing issues with 8.5 width...

It should be 30 profile for 20s. 35s might rub depending on your ride height. Also, front offset is pretty aggressive.

+1, 245/30 are already bigger than the OEM size.

Okay so what tyre sizes do you recommend?

I meant that you should go with 245/30 and not 245/35.

Just run 245/30 all around you'll be fine.
