TIRES - CANT FIND Run Flat Set

Looking to put 20x9 / 20x10.5 rims and need run flats since no spare in the car, but can't find a set in the right sizes;

245/40R20 and 285/35R20 Run Flat.

Open to other sizes but obviously want some more meat all around above stock width.

Any help would be great. Thank you.

Haven't tried a Costco but, two rim/tire shops around here nor Tirerack can get a set of the tire sizes I need in a run flat.

Do people not put run flats on these cars when they go to 20" rims?

Well I don't take road trips with this car and it's never driven more than 20-30 miles from home so good point with not needing a spare but it's more peace of mind.

Surprised it's been so hard to find a set that are run flats though.

Any chance you know the size tire BMW puts on the OEM 20"s? (I know I could look it up if not).

it depends if its xdrive or Just rear wheel "I"
Sounds like you have after market wheels in your case this wouldn't matter
if your wheels are 20x9 and 20x10.5 Go with 255 35 20 and 295 30 20 you also can go with 285 30 20 but it will stretch your tire just little

I have rwd and yes will be aftermarket. 20x9 f and 20x10 or 10.5 r. I want widest that will fit nicely without stretching or being pointless.

Thank you for the help.

I wish I did 295 rear but next set when they go bad I will be going with 295

Unless you plan on returning a lease, maybe think about getting non-RFT's with a sealer kit similar to one that comes on some M cars.

I have this one: http://www.my-airman.com/product/tir...ions/resq-pro-

Not a lease. I own the car.

May not be a bad way to go. I'll add it to the list of considerations.

Thank you.

No spacers needed for those sizes right? I don't want any rubbing at all.
