Another game of: Will it fit?

cipher5 · 07-13-2015, 11:01 AM

So I have an opportunity to get some wheels for my vehicle that already has a set of tires on it and I'm not 100% sure if it will fit before I actually pull the trigger. So I thought I'd ask the experts on here to know for sure.

I have a 2011 535i X-Drive lowered on H&R springs.

UPDATE: Specs modified
Wheel sizes and offsets:
20x8.5 et34
20x10 et40

Tire sizes:
255/35/20
285/30/20

Alternative Tire Size
245/35/20
275/30/20

It will be fine. With the shown wheel sizes you can go up to the offsets:
20x9 et 26 with 255/35
20x10 et 30 with 295/30

So you will have a room of about 16mm front and 13mm rear for some spacers or just leave it as is and enjoy

P.S. The "xDrive recommended" best couples of 20" front and rear tires with almost identical rolling diameters are: 245/35+285/30 and 255/35+295/30. However 255/35 front with 285/30 is still acceptable. Tirerack.com users know where this acceptable % of diameter difference can be found.

You're welcome! BTW what are the new rims to come?

cipher5 · 07-13-2015, 02:12 PM

You'll see, if I pull the trigger

Man I am intrigued

Get the fitment pics from seller and a good price.
Good luck!

BUMP! Specs modified for a different set including alternative tire size. My offset calculation is rusty but I think that should fit still right?

They'll fit, but the front will be a bit less aggressive than the rear, you can fit 12mm if you like.

That's what I was thinking, and I have the spacer already. Perfect. Thanks remmib as always!
