Have a set of bmw specific borbet xa wheels w winters that was thinking of trying on my 2013 model s for cold months.
They are 20x9 et35 with 275/40/20 tires
Were in chicago so wanna have dedicated setup and have these leftover w new tires.

Is 275 up front too wide for the car w 35 offset?

275 will definitely rub in the front. Some folks on here have used 255 and it rubs on full lock in reverse.

I personally wouldn't go wider than 255 in the front. I have seen folks with 285/35 in the rear on 20 inch wheels.

What is the width of the rims you mentioned above? 9 and 9.5/10 inch?
