20 inch wheels on a 08 xi

Assari · 11-15-2011, 01:26 PM

Hello guys! I am new here and this is my first post so please don´t go too tough on me

Got a Le Mans Blue Coupe 335xi today completely stock. I want to know can I run 20 inch wheels without rubbing and which size. Do they have to be the same width in the front and back? I had a Evo before and I had to run wheels of the same width in the front and back on that car.

I tried to search, but mostly found good info on the 19 inch wheels, but nothing particular on the 20 inch wheels.

I am located in Finland and the knowledge of the BMW enthusiasts in our country is not that good, so unfortunately I can´t get any "for sure" answers, even from the body/tuning shops.

Sorry for the bad english.

Anyone running 20´s on a xi?

I'm running 20's on my '08 XI.

Running 245/30/20 in the front with slight rubbing when I do a full turn of the steering wheel.

285/25/20 in the rear with no rubbing.

Hope this helps.

Thank you! Do you have any pics of your car? What springs/shocks are you using?

PM me your email address, I'll send you a few pics. OEM springs and shocks right now. I'm going to switch to KW V1's for XI in the spring.
