Is there a 20" tyre that complies with the load index and makes 20" rims OK to use without increasing the width so bodywork is required. I notice the rear 305mm tyres are OK with a 97Y but I'm surprised they don't hit.
The only reason this comment is being made is that some members may not realise the insurance risk associated with this setup so don't please take the comment the wrong way

That is a valid point and anyone fitting 20" wheels for complete peace of mind should confirm with their insurance company if they are concerned about coverage.
There are no 20" tires that fit the M3 with the 93Y load index. The 255/30R20 with 92Y is the closest available. There is a 20kg difference between the 2 which in reality is not much, especially when you consider that BMW is specifying that index for a fully loaded M3 with people and luggage.
