I have some 20 X 8.5 rims with an offset of 38 left over from my Lexus. Then I made the switch! The tire size is 245/35/R20...

Is there anyway these would fit on a 05' 330i Sedan with Sport Package (not ZHP)

Thanks for the help!

It can work go on bimmerfest.com in the e46 section I think they made that thread about aftermarket wheel sizes, tire sizes, suspension set ups that work together with out rubbing. Btw how will a 20 inch rub guys?! I know many ppl who have em on their cars I'd never do it because of the ride though.

I don't know if they will physically fit, or not, but they will be so much larger than stock that the gearing and speedometer calibration will be affected significantly. Significantly.

You will be doing an indicated speed of 70 with an actual ground speed of closer to 75, which should pose obvious problems. The gear ratio will be affected enough that the troque curve will not be useful. Even if the rims can be bolted onto the car, the driving experience will be adversely affected to the point that driving will not be any fun at all.
