Aggressive wheel fitment for M550

What would be the best width/offset for a set of 20" wheels maximizing available space without rubbing/fender modifications? I'm thinking about going 20x9 +25 and 20x10.5 +35. Any advice?

I am trying to figure this one out myself but no one seems to know ....
i was looking at z performance wheels with similar setup..
20x9 et35 and rear 20x10,5 ET33.... I am not sure about those rear wheels...specially as I will lower my car too

It would be nice to have some thread just for 20'' if people would care to share their experience

What I'm getting from wheels company's is 20x9 +25 and 10.5 +38. About 1" of concave in the front and 2.8" in the rear. I hope this helps.

I think those rears are too aggressive for G30.

20mm spacers with the OEM wheels is the most popular setup many owners are running.
20x10,5 ET33 would stick out 10mm further than this and I don't think there is room for that. Especially if you will lower your car.

i' ve seen a guy fitting m5 wheels on his car somewhere on the forum (similar setup), but on the pictures it looked like the the wheels are sticking out.
I want to fit concave wheels but if i go with 9 instead of 10.5 i will loose the 'depth' ....unfortunately that company doesn't make anything in between....
i guess i will have to start search for something else or go for a original wheels

That's too agressive. You should stick with +30.

According to my calculations, you should be flushed with et45.

Looks good! It will look great when lowered! My offset is et38 as I was making room for 295 tire.

If the g30 has as much room in the rear wheel wells as the f10, you will have no problem with 11" wide rears.
I got 20x11 ET46 on my f10, and there's still about 2cm of clearance to the strut.

I'm planning to order a set of wheels with parameters 9J +25 10.5 + 38 and put tires 255/30 and 305/25 - could anybody advise will this work?
255/30 and 295/25 will work for sure, but what about rears with 305/25 as for me it will be better for 10.5 and fronts with 255/30
