20" wheels

[meditek]

Anyone out there know how the M reacts to 20" wheels? I have a spare set of Schnitzers.

Thanks

I imagine it will skitter all over the place

and look like something a 5 year old kid drew, whilst fantasising about Hot Wheels toys

You'd need 255/30r20 on the rear and 225/35r20 on the fronts - all assuming the wheels aren't 10/11j or something, which would need a 275/25r20 and 255/30r20 combo.

I was hoping someone had actually tried them. I've put them on Ebay at a quarter the cost with near new tyresas they had only done 50 miles.

Yep, Hot Wheels toy.

Horrible. Unless you are 12.

the problem with the ACS design is the wheel itself (for me)

I've personally never been a fan of anything to come from that tuning haus.

With the right wheel and plenty of slam, it could be pulled off and well at that, but obviously low reduces practicality especially (generalising here) on the UK roads.

The wheels in your pic look rather like the Snitch type 4 racing !

I'm still no further with positive replies to my question which was basically' how much better is handling etc'. I could care less about the hairdresser insinuations.

If you fit 20" wheels with OEM suspension you're going to have a horrible ride! I couldn't live with OEM suspension and OEM wheels and have fitted AC Schnitzer Racing suspension (adjustable) and with this, I'm sure that 19" and 20" will work fine with the correct suspension settings.

I would do that but Morethan draw the line at non-standard mods as I have discovered. They wouldn't even insure it at any cost!Could get away with the wheels cos they were a BMW option when the car was new.

Just the 108's that came with the car (which I'm not a fan of...) First the car will be lowered, then I'll work on a nice set of wheels.
