20" Iforged Monaco's M3 with a 5" lip--HELP!

I'm looking at purchasing some 20x8.5 and 20x10 Iforged Monaco's that are off of an M3. Would this be possible to run on an E90 with coilover suspension? The tires they're running are 245 wide in front and 285 in the rear, which I know is probably too wide.

I'm just wondering if this is possible, or if it's going to be a major headache. I'm willing to roll the fenders, but I don't know if Iforged is more conservative with their offsets...If anyone has any insight, I'd really appreciate it!

Maybe, your going to need a high 30's offset in the rear to be safe.

Can you try them without purchasing them?

You can fit a 11in wheel with 305 rubber in the rear of an e92, so theres room if the offset works.

Thanks for the input guys! I spoke to Vincent at Iforged, and he said that it should be fine...honestly I'm very doubtful of that though, based on threads I've seen on this forum. I'd obviously have to change those rear tires, but even then, I'm just not convinced that it won't be a major headache.

You''ll be fine. Unless the rear offset is lower than 30mm, the tire should clear.

Look at my sig.
