I have a 535 with the m sport 19" wheels. I was wondering if 20" wheels with tires size 295-30 in the rear and 265-30 in the front will fit without rubbing or any other issues?

Thank You

Initially thought they would rub, but some people run them with certain offsets.

Depends on the offset, it can fit.

Which size do you think will be the most I can fit on the front and rear without rubbing?

It is possible as I looked a little more into it that some folks have fit 265 and 295 widths, that's my mistake. However, you'll definitely want to post your offsets because other folks have rubbing on the same tire width with different offsets, so it can be very close at that size.

One other thing to consider is if you have x drive you'd be best sticking with tire options that preserve close to equal tire diameter. You can pretty easily fit 245/35/20 + 285/30/20 most of the time, which is a popular choice for X drive. Also, 255/35/20 + 295/30/20 might work with the right offset in back. Non X drive, not as much of a worry in regards to keeping the diameters between front and rear equal. Hope that helps.

Thanks a lot. This will definitely be useful in determining which style 20" inch wheels i get.

Glad to help, I've just gone through the same thought process for my car. I ended up with 255 and 285, which is ok because I'm not an X drive, on 20x9 ET+32 and 20x10.5 ET+45.

Can you post a pic of the 255's up front? My wheels are 20x9/20x10.5 and while I know most are running 245's in the front, the roads here in the DC area really have me considering 255's. I already have the rear 285s and the wheels, just can't decide on the front tires because I don't want them to look overly "meaty"

I don't have them mounted yet, need to find time in the next 1-2 weeks.

255/30 is perfect on 9" wheels.

I just installed oem 601m setup 265 front 295 rear and it's a perfect fit. No rubbing no spacers.

Yeah, I know, I corrected myself a few posts later saying that some people run the 265/295 combo just fine. It all depends on your offsets at that width.
