Hey guys,

I am looking to purchase a new set of summer wheels. Going with the Forgestar F14's for my 535 xDrive. Have a question though that maybe some of you can help out with. Here is the specs of the wheels:

F: 20x9 ET 32
R: 20x10.5 ET 56

I am concerned about the offset for the rears. Does anyone know if this will fit my car without any trouble? I DON'T want to have rubbing, don't want spacers and don't want to roll my fenders. Anyone have any insight on this?

As for tires, I am looking to run this setup:
F: 245/40/20
R: 275/35/20 OR 285/35/20
Any objections?

Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Front offset is fine, could do a 5mm spacer. Rear offset is too high, you are going to need 15mm spacer to make these look flush.

Will it be fine without spacers or will it look stupid?

Exactly what he said but 20 mm out back will get you more flush, thnough 15 will work, but a bit more conservative.

Are these the offsets you are spec'ing or what Forgestar is recommending?

That's what I thought.

[MELLOWYELLOW06]

And they run fine without any problem? Did you have to get spacers or anything? Do you mind sharing some pictures?

[MELLOWYELLOW06]

I know, it needs to be lowered. Just trying to find time with 4 kids

[MELLOWYELLOW06]

No spacers, no rubbing. Cut exactly for the car.

And just to reiterate, you are running the same exact offsets:

F: 20x9 ET 32
R: 20x10.5 ET 56

No, I believe I've seen MELLOWYELLOW06 posted that his wheel spec was 20x8.5 ET20 and 20x10 ET38.
