Need some help with tires
Hey, everyone, I've got an E70 that's still on its winter wheels and needs to switch over to summers. I bought these wheels: http://www.**********s.com/Avant-Gar...Silver-BMW.htm in the following specs:
Front: 20x8.5 ET20 Rear: 20x10 ET20 Only problem is that I don't know what to do for tires. I've been doing some research, and I came up with the following numbers: Front: 245/45-R20 Rear: 275/40-R20 The only summer tires I could find in those sizes on TireRack were the Pirelli P-Zeros. So, any of you guys know whether or not those tires in those sizes would be a good fit for those wheels on an E70? Thanks.

I'd recommend staying with stock sizes. For 20s, the wheels are 20x10 front, 20x11 rear with 275/40 and 315/35 rear tires.

There is a guy selling a whole set of OEM 20" wheels and tires on another forum (starts with bimmer....) for less than you will pay for a set of tires. If you grab those, you can sell your other wheels and probably break even...and you will have stock wheel/tires in the right size.

Still nothing back from **********s, so I'll be avoiding them in the future and would advise others to do the same. I'm thinking I'll just order the Pirelli tires in the size I mentioned and get them mounted and hope for the best. I did the math out, and the diameter of the wheel and tire setup comes out to within .05" of the OEM 20x10/20x11 setup. So I'm just going to wind up with less grip and aesthetics due to the setup I have being narrower, but fitment should be okay. 275 is the width BMW uses for 10" wide wheels on the X5, and I think 245 is appropriate for an 8.5" wide wheel. On one hand, I just want to get this ordeal over with and quit wasting tread on the winters, on the other I'm hesitant to do anything until I know it's right. Thanks for your help, though. Impressive car collection, by the way.

Still nothing back from **********s. Funny how supportive and friendly they were during the process of making the sale and how they won't even reply to my emails now.

Your wheels would make a nice winter set as well, keep that in mind. These would probably easily sell for those in winter climates.
