best offset of 20"x9 and 20"x10,5

I´m looking for the maximum offset for following tire/rim setup without rubbing. Or maximum setup with mild rolling fenders.
Pics required!

20x9 255/35 R20
20x10,5 295/30 R20

Really, where can you do that in Germany? Guys, the Autobahn is not what you think it is.

What is your problem?
My car has 630 hp at the crank and it runs 208 mph.

Ok temporary I must slow down because of the traffic but all things considered I run for over 30 minutes over 185 mph.

Sorry, but in germany we can do this!

Here is pic: I hope you can convert km/h to mph!


Here is a vid from 60 - 160 mph

lol this is a joke so u mean to tell me there is a straight road in germany that goes for 30 mins with out any bends,turns and traffic haha your a joke dude plus, as well as these cars are built i highly doubt 200 mph is achivable very easily as well as running it that hard for that long without any issue. And i don't care were u are in the world i can't think of one place in the world anyone can drive 200 mph for 30mins without having to slow down.

Just reading your own quotes.... dude


LOL

come on lets be real here, I have no doubt you can sustain higher speeds longer than we can but really 30 minutes of 175 plus? (Im being conservative since you now say you had to slow down LOL) Is your E55 better than all others?

Just to get back to the original question. I'm running 20 x 8.5 front and 20x 10 rear with 245 35 front and 275 30 rear. I had to roll the front fenders and grind down the nut on the top. It's a tight fit but it works.

Currently I am running ADV05 9x20 and 10,5x10 255/30 ZR20 and 295/25 ZR20 with continental sport contact 5P.

But anyway I don´t like the wheels.

I'm running 245/30/20 and 275/30/20 on 8.5 (or maybe 9, I forgot) and 10in rears. No rubbing. I know the rear should be 275/25/20, but I think the slightly taller sidewall helps with the ride.

i posted a video in 2010 while i was driving 320km in my modded E55 and recording on one hand for a couple of minutes ^_^

i could have continued but i dont trust other drivers on the road.

it is well known in germany that minimum they drive 250km and we all go there just to drive fast at highways. LOL
