Looking to buy some used wheels and hey are F20x9.5 R20x11. Will these fit on an e92 M3 2009? Thanks for the help!!

[SilentAttack]

yes with the right offsets...

And the right tires.... Don't go 20" on this platform. They are a compromise in every way including aesthetics. The overall diameter spec of the tire on the E92 M3 does not allow the use of a 20" tire with side-wall heights that provide good performance. So they look silly and perform worse, are heavier, more susceptible to damage, etc.... the list goes on. I have had 20's, 19's, and 18's. This is based on actual experience.

So shall I go with 19s? what is the ideal wheel size and width for e92?

That depends on your use of the car. 100% street? Track use? What do you want to achieve aesthetically?

stock ride height... 19" OEM ZCP (competition package) wheels are hard to beat IMO.

You already know my thoughts on 20's.... But it's your car not mine.

I think the only way 20s should be an option are with step lip wheels. For the look, i would sacrifice what Slicer said above (and i agree)

The ones you are looking at with a stock ride height will look silly IMHO

But back to the OP, yes it will fit, as shown in that FS post

[ktan23]

so no on stock height, but what if i lower it with some eibach springs similar to tasi333. he has 20x9.5 and 20x11
