No, not with 9x20” ET35!

255/40-20 is possible on F10 but the wheel offset is crucial.

This photo show 255/40-20 on 8.5x20" wheels with ET32, less than 1/10" clearance with the car on the lift and rubs with the weight on the wheels.



The front offset needs to be around 25-27, lower and the tire will rub the fender liner and higher the tire will rub the steering knuckle.
