F30 20”s fitting

So I have a 328i 2013 xdrive and was looking at some 20’s but I’m not too sure how to calculate whether these would fit correctly or not.

The wheels are 20x8.5 front and 20x10 rear
With the tires being 245/35/20 FRONT & 275/30/20 REAR
Would there be any rubbing with stock suspension? And would it work with the xdrive?

Will totally depend on the offset. I have 20” 405m’s on my car which were a dealer option. If you can get the offset people here will be able to let know if they’ll fit.

oem is 26"ish. 245/35/20, 275/30/20 are 26.8" and 26.5", 1.1% difference. the limit difference is 1.2% but most try to stay below 1%. 235/35/20 would be a better front tire size as it's diameter is same as 275/30/20. i've seen members here with this setup on their x-drive with no issues. you may try them at your own risk.

next, if the front offset is too low the 26.8" tall front tire may rub the fenderwell liner during full lock turn. what is the front offset?

What are front and rear offsets?

Don’t know too much about wheels and tires. How can I figure out the offset? I don’t have the wheels on hand.

what wheels a they? if they are oem bmw and we get the style number we can find the specs. if they are aftermarket we can sometimes make a reasonable guess, if we know the oem offsets of the car it's on and if there are different offsets offered for the same wheel width or widths, if staggered.

They are reps of the 437m wheels for the M3/M4. Btw thank you for the help, really helps me understand things when its broken down a bit.

437m reps in 20"? If the reps are made for an f3/4 the rear shouldn't rub on stock suspension. The front offset could rub the fenderwell liner while turning if the offset is less than +32, or rub the spring perch or strut if greater than +38, with 26.8" tall tire.
