Calling out all E92'ers with 20'z

I just recently got a 335i and contemplating betweens 19's or 20's. Been doing some research on this site and it seems to me that 19's look a little small on the e92s. My friend who has some iforged 20's said his car is rubbing crazy...

Anyone with 20's on their ride can you chime in and give me some perspective on how your ride is? did you regret it? would 19's been better for you?

With the proper offset and tire sizing, you can run 20s on your car. I typically recommend a 245/30/20 and 285/25/20 front and rear for these tires. You can do a 235/265 setup but the profiles will be wrong and these will be stretched on most aftermarket widths.

20s are too big for the 3 series in my opinion. 19s are the perfect mix of sportiness, comfort, and appearance.

I just had 20' Klassens put on my car yesterday and the rear actually needs to be lowered a 1/2'! I have 285x20x10.5 with 40offset in the rear with Toyo Tr1 Proxes and absolutely no rubbing! Will have to see about rubbing after the car is lowered this week but I didn't even have to roll the fenders.Also,the 20's with steplips look alot better than non-lip wheels on the E92.The steplips look almost like 19's.....

I have 20s on my e92 and 19s on my e90. E92 eats up wheels. 19s dont fill the wheel wells.

As far as ride quality its pretty close. Of course the 20s are a little bit harsher but not much. They ride fine

Well they are both 20s. So it's probably the different colors that makes the difference.

And here are pics of some more sick e92s with 20s.
