Wheels:
Front: 20x9 ET 30
Rear: 20x10 ET 42
Tires:
From: 255/35/20
Rear: 285/30/2
IMHO...this is a conservative setup!

Thanks! And all good? No rubbing? Happy with how far the wheels are out? 
And what do you mean conservative setup? I mean you could put 295s back and would fit even better -> you now have slightly larger fronts than back . Or something else? |
Yes, no rubbing...I'm cool with my setup. IMHO, the overall fitment has that 99.9% flushed (stance) looks to it...not too aggressive.
I was advised to go with either 245 (OEM) or 255 size for the front, and recommended with 285 for the rear. Although, from this forum I've noticed 295 and 305 were used for the rear.
As well, my car came with OEM 20" staggered with xDrive option. Therefore, I selected these sizes (255/35 & 285/30) which kept the overall diameter as close as possible with the OEM setup in order to avoid problem(s)/issue(s)/damage(s) to the all-wheel drivetrain/system down-the-lane.
