20" Wheels on an e90 330i?

DFW_MThree · 03-08-2009, 07:36 PM

Is it worth it to put 20 inch wheels on my 06 330i thats lowered on eibach sportline springs? i like the look of 20s but i dont have the kind of money to throw away on tires every 5k Miles. Id have to go with 285/25ZR20 rear tires. abt $650.00 for just two. Is it worth the risk or should i go with 19s instead? I want a more aggressive look, maybe a 15 or 20 offset in rear.

i went for the 19's due to the fact that the 20" tires cost nearly double... however i kinda want the 20's now lol

Tires every 5K miles? How the hell do you drive? Like this guy?

Your tires will last way longer than 5K miles.
There's a minor sacrifice in comfort and acceleration due to weight but not too big of a difference.

If you can afford to, go for it. I love my 20's. I went 18's on my E46 and always resented them. Ended up selling them for the 19's I really wanted and spending more money in the long run. I now have a new policy - "I'm not rich enough to buy things that are only 'sort of' what I want"
