tire size

I just picked up 20x8.5 et15, 20x10 et22 wheels for my e92 m3, what tire size can i run dropped on h&r springs? I want it to look pretty flush with the fender and as least stretched as possible. Thanks

I agree on the tire sizes. Why didn't you get the 20 x 9 version of the LM's for your front wheels?

i thought with 285 30 20 it wouldn't clear and a 275 would be more suitable? or a 285/25?

Hmm guess I read/understood wrong

Looking at your original post I don't know why I thought you got LM's or BBS for that matter. Weird...

That depends on the offset. He should be fine with 285/30's with his offset. Many people have successfully used 285/30/20's. I would go with 275/30/20 before I used 285/25/20. The 285/25 is an unnecessarily low profile.
