^ idk. 20x10.5 might be too much especially if its lowered - im thinking it will rub a lot.

..And the part about actually having the power to roll super heavy wheels. if one puts 20's on a 3.0i....the ride is going to be super rough and the car, more than likely, super slow. All show and no go....but do what makes you happy. :

Yeah, do what you want, but 20's are simply too big for this car. It will look like a donkey. I mean, if you just want 20's to say that you've got 20's, then fine. But I think it would look silly and sort of cheap. 20's on a 3 or 5 series is fine b/c it's a big car. Z4s are small. It will slow you down and cause your car to be a rattlebox. 19's at maximum for my taste.
But hey, post pics if you do it!

I agree, 20s are way too big for the Z. I recommend going no bigger than 19x8.5 front and 19x10 rear with no more than a 35 offset.

Assuming you're talking about a regular Z4... just to avoid confusion with people on here. People seem to get confused easily on the differences in offsets between m and non-m.
