Need help with tires....

Looking to maybe buy these as a budget summer setup. Need tires to go with.

Status Retro 818 20" Charcoal Rims Wheels BMW x5 E53 E70 20 x 8 5 10 5H 20 | eBay


How do I determine what sizes to go with for fronts and rears? I'm looking for the same diameter, but obviously as wide as possible in the rear.


Spacers will follow to get me flush.

Me I don't like those wheels for that kind of money.

Thanks for the info. Theyre not my favorites... but I want a deep machined lip, and few spokes.to show off my new drilled.and slotted rotors.. so they are a decent compromise.

Everything else I like is twice the $$$

The fronts are skinny. I'd go with 255 max. Agree with Tom on the rear size and the wheels.

Don't compromise and spend 1500 on something you're just ok with. Save up, and buy what you really want.... Bc in the end, you'll probably buy the ones you really want, and have to consider this stupid purchase a sunk cost

While $650 is dirt cheap for a set of wheels. I would track down some tires before you purchase them.....any front/rear matching pairs from any of the mainstream tire companies are going to run you more than what a set of 275/315 set of rubber would for some wheels of the proper dimensions. Long story short, what you save on your rims you're going to dish out for a reputable set of rubber because of the odd ball size.

Good luck though, let us know what you find!
