Need tire sizing advice for e93

Ordered 20" matte graphite vossen CV3's and need to get some tires for my e93.

Vossen recommended 245/30/20 front and 295/25/20 in rear. I was told 255/30's would fit up front and 305/25's would fit in rear but I don't have the wheel offset info (will try to get this but don't know if it's released). I really don't want to rub and am considering getting the eibach springs for the e93 as well after I see how these fit. I am leaning toward 255/295 or 255/305 combo in the Hankook ventus v12's (vs the Vredstein's). I do realize about the understeer issue w/ narrower front tires.

Any thoughts? (especially from e93 owners who have run similar setups)

I believe this is the correct offset info:

20x9 +20 front and 20x10.5 +27 rear

I had a similar question for an E93, but i am not as far along in the research/purchase process so I am going to piggyback on this thread:

I currently have stock 19's with the 245/35; 265/35 combination; looking to upgrade.

Will wheel and tire combinations that fit the E92 without rubbing, etc. also fit the E93? What is the maximum tire/wheel combination in either 18" or
19" that will fit the E93 without rubbing or loss of handling and be similar to my OEM set up as far as ride quality for daily driving? Because of road conditions, I don't know at this point if I will lower the car or not, but if I did, it probably would only be a slight lowering.

Thanks in advance for any input anyone can give.
