Fitment for my F33

Hey guys

I have a 430d M sport cabrio (F33) and ive recently just purchased new wheels for the car.

The wheels are 20" 8.5 ET35 front and 10 ET40 rear.
The car is on stock suspension and i have no plans to change that.

What tyre size would be best for my car?
I do not want the stretched look as i wont be lowering it, i just want it to look flush.

Any help would be greatly appeciated. If you have any pics of your fitment, please do share so i have an idea of how it will look!

Thanks

Would 245/35/20, 275/30/20 not work? I have seen that is the most common setup for 20" wheels on the forum even when on stock suspension

that'll work also. it will offer more protection and fill out your wheel wells more. it changes your gearing at the wheels by a tiny amount since the diameter is 0.8 greater than factory spec.

sorry, you're correct, for the rears 275/30/20 is closer to oem spec than 275/25/20
