Hi,

I just got my E90 last week and would like to put some Wheels on it.

I plan to get some 20" Iforged wheels. I dont know much about cars, so i would like to know if someone could recommend the most optimal offset and width sizes for both front and rear rims - for no rubbing at all.

Also would 20x10 and 20x8 be ok? and is there anything other info i should know before ordering these?

Thanks in advance.

I think people would need to know if you have normal or sport suspension.

Hi Barrie,

I have ordered H&R Coilovers.

I can't help you with this, but I thought I would ask that question, as I know the others would want to know before dispensing advice. I hope someone pops in soon with a good bit of advice.

Yes. I like to go with 20 x 8.5 in front tho.
Offset: 35-mm all around
Tires: 245/30 front, 285/25 rear.

hey thanks prentender for the suggestion i just thought, maybe i could have gotten more input before ordering... anyways.. i just put in the order with the same set up as NATUREBOY -- 20x8.5 and 20x10 40mm.

I figure im ok since my suspension is adjustable.

Sweet. You will be fine with 40mm I am running 18mm with a 20x10 wheel and my car is lowered.

You may want to put some spacers on the rear to make the wheels more flush with the fenders. Good luck!

40mm offset in front for the 8.5x20? I'm not so sure. Mine is 19 x 8.5 with 40mm offset in front and I got around 2-3mm left on the strut side just right where it connected with the spring. 40mm in rear will be okay.

I have 9x20 + 10x20 35mm offset each.
no rubbing, and there is a lot of space if you ask me.

Yeah...and last time I heard his rear wheels rub on every bump...I don't believe it. I installed the wheels myself and I know for 9.5 x 19, 20mm offset, it rubs on big dips and I don't like it.
