X20EH2?
IS45?

REAR:
BMW 315/40 R20
6 7535 17?
E10 1/2
IS30?

I HAVE ALSO GOT 4 TIRES OF SIZE 275/40 R 20

????? mY QUESTION IS: WHAT ARE THESE OBRIVIATIONS MARKED BY QUESTION SIGN STAND FOR?????
AND WILL THE SIZE LISTED ABOVE PERFECTLY FIT THE SIZE OF TIRES WITH 275/40 R20 TO CONSIDER THE RIMS ARE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT IN WIDTH???

AND ONE MORE WHAT IS THE DIFFERENC IN IS 45 AND IS 30 REGARDING RIMS? AMD WILL FOR EXAMPLE RIMS OF FRONT SIZE FIT THE REAR?

AND ONE MORE WHAT IS THE DIFFERENC IN IS 45 AND IS 30 REGARDING RIMS? (the difference is the wheel offset dimension. Wheel offset explained here: http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/tech/techpage.jsp?techid=101) AMD WILL FOR EXAMPLE RIMS OF FRONT SIZE FIT THE REAR? (yes)

With the wider rims in the back I would put the correct sized tires. If you want to put the 275/40R20 tires all around then I would find another pair of the front rims to put on back.

I'm currently running 274/40/20 all around as my winter setup. Does the job but doesn't quite handle the same with the thinner rear tires so next up will be rear spacers to complete the winter setup.
