Those running 275/30/20 rears
Can you post profile pictures of your cars?
I'm torn on running the 275/30 vs. the appropriate sized 285/25/20's.
I realize that the disadvantages of running them (rolling diameter, speedo error, looks slightly SUV-ish) but I'm leaning towards the advantage of a bit more sidewall to protect the wheels since our E55 is my wife's daily driver.
Thanks.

Just got a set of roderick cinques 20s. I am running 285/25/20 on rear. I have about 1 to 1.25 inch of sidewall with falkens 452s. I don't think there is much difference between 275/30/20. Maybe a quarter inch max. taller for 30 series. But Damn, 285s sure do look good! 
My wife drives it and I am always paranoid that she's going to hit a pothole or something! If you have horrible roads where you're at go with 275/30. More peace of mind, but seriously I think it's going to make a huge difference. As for me, looks all the way!!!
