Need some wheel help. Totally newbie lol

Hey guys I am totally new when it comes to wheels and tires. My car originally came with the 19" sport wheels with the Pzero tires. (2008 335i e92) I wanted something different and a Guy at my local tires shop suggested these 20" gloss black would look good. So I got them and was not really considering the tires so just got generic. They are Antares M5 all season. I am assuming not the best quality and the ride is very harsh. Anyways I want to put some different tires on there. I am currently looking at The Ventus Evo2 tires as I have head good things about them.

My current setup is 245/30/20 all the way around. I believe the rim is 8.5" My question is will upgrading to the Ventus Evo2 help with the ride quality and if so what size tire should I put on there for the best fitment/performance/quality

Thank a bunch
Shaun

20" rims sux, they are simply too big imo
Best size is either 19" or 18"
But if you have already brought them then, well make the best of it
Ideal tire size is 235 front and 265 rear to avoid rubbing and tracking
Ditch the run flats, get yourself a puncture slime kit and a set of non run flat tires
Dont skimp on good quality rubber, Pilot super sports or similar if you can afford them
