I'm not sure that anyone has pulled this off with 20's. I wouldn't recommend it. The biggest problem will be finding a tire to fit in the front. Please don't stretch a 255/30/20 on that wide of a wheel. Maybe a 285/25 will work... You should stick with 18's or 19's if you want to push the width envelope. Additionally, 20's aren't well suited for the M3. I'm speaking from experience... I have had 20's, 19's and 18's.

I'm sorry but why did you get an M3 if you don't care about performance? Stretched tires in a size narrower than OEM makes no sense to me.
