I gave up last year and just changed my tires instead... Starting to search early this year lol! It looks like there might actually be some more options this year...

Bobblehead, do you think this would work for my E53?

The proposed front should work with no issue (technically by calculation) but should still get a test fit to ensure that’s the case

the proposed rear will extend out by 22mm (due to 1 inch wider than factory setup). By appearance, it can look a bit odd compared to the front due to rear being pushed out more. There is a very remote chance of rubbing the wheel fender depends on what size of tires you go with, for 10 inch width wheel, you could be looking for a 285/30/20 tires and any wider could be an issue. In the end, do consult with local tire shop.

I have 275/30R20 tires for the rear already. Will they fit?

bobblehead

Yup. You are good to go .. on tires.

maybe search for a 2nd choice wheels as well ... just in case

It's pretty hard to find a 9 inch wheel with the right offset. You think it would look quite odd? The front is .5 inches wider than stock too.

Depends on how picky you are . If you want the factory look, then by looking at this 20 inch setup, it may be a bit odd looking for some people. That’s is , on the side view, no difference but if you are standing in front of the car looking directly, you will notice the rear wheels are pretty flushed with the fender

Thanks. I don't think I'd mind that.
