In Reply to: The maximum tyre on the 20"rims on my 850i? posted by Rudy on January 07, 2001 at 08:46:06:


I buy now Pirelly 255/35/20 so good as new for $65. <- Are you sure about the price ? That's very cheap !!!


(I want also the Dunlop’s 285/35/20 for the same money but I don’t know if the tyre fit under the car.) I don't knwo either, but foer the same money, they are good for decorations as weel as seats or ... I can't think of anything else, but a 20" tire for less then 100USD is a gift !

I drive now Michelin Pilot-SX MXX3 Front:245/40/ZR20 Rear:275/35/ZR20. That is a verry good tyre.

if you run the 275/35ZR20 and no problem, the 285/35 shouldn't be a problem either, but the 285 will be a bit taller and you already 2" taller where you should be... the car will accelerate slower and I'm not even getting into the wheel bearing problems... unsprung weight problems !!!
