A list of 20" wheels with the proper fitment
We should make a list and update it with the manufacturer of the 20s/their offsets/and tire sizes that look proper and that don't rub. I am on the fence between the 20" Velgens or waiting on the 19"s due very soon.
The 20 set up is 245/35/20 front for 20x9 and 275/30/20 for the rear 20x10.5. I'm trying to find the offsets. The A few guys have pics of this setup and it looks good in most pics. On the other hand a lot of the 20s look a tad oversized and make the f30 look like a matchbox car. Does anyone else recommend the 20" for the f30? |

I have 20" wheels but I'm looking at selling them and going to 19" wheels. I want a tad more comfort (I'm lowered on coils too). The car looks amazing on 20's though, doesn't look too big at all. But a nice set of 19's with a good drop look fine too.

I dont think the style has anything to do with it for that example. 20's on the e46/e9x look oversize, because they are oversize for those models. To fit them you need to upsize the overall wheel and tyre diameter (and ruin the proportions of the car). The F30 comes from the factory with an overall diameter large enough to support a 20' wheel. It's designed to handle it.

I have oem style 373 (650 m sport)
245/35/20 275/30/20 Stock suspension Front tires are rubbing on the inside front plastic when your turning and hit a bump. Another member had the same setup on H&R springs and mentioned no rubbing.... I don't see how that's possible, it will rub too much. |

I have Octane wheels which are 20x8.5 et36 and 20x10 et 42. Tyres 245/30/20 and 255/30/20 I am lowered on BC Racing Coilovers at my height there was no way a bigger rear tyre fitted the 275/30/20 was wedged against the guard.
The front offset could easily go out a few mm but the rear is completely flush

Looking at the pics you guys posted the 20's look just about perfect. I think I'm leaning hard in the direction of the Velgen gunmetal 20's for my EBII 335. I have DHP so if I have the kids in the car I'll set it to comfort. I have an xdrive and I'm dropping it with H&R springs. It will give me 1 finger gap all around.

On the west coat or FL 20''s maybe perfect, but for north east I wouldn't recommend it, I have 19'' m5 reps and when it get dicey, I would definitely not want any less tire, I imagine my wheels looking like hell by now if they were 20s. Im not lowered or anything, but it looks good, and has much more comfort than e9x on 19s.
