BBS LM-R biggest tire size possible without rubbing?

Hey everyone, i am looking to purchase the bbs lm-r for my e92. My car is not lowered at all, i want to buy the lm-r in the 20x10 rear with 18 offset and 20x9 in the front. I currently have vmr in a 19x 11 in the rear with a 295 and it doesn't rub. i want to stay with a 295 but im not sure if it will rub with these wheels. Does anyone know if this setup will rub, and if so what is the biggest size i can go without rubbing in the rear and the front. Thanks so much any help is really appreciated.

I have LM-r with ericsson offsets and you can only fit 245/30 in front and 275/30 rear. i have 285/30 in rear but it rubs very slightly on big bumps

You know what they say about big tires ..... big offsets.

The answer to your question is not simple. It will depend on many factors, including (among others): Tire brand, tire shape, tire shoulder, tire pressure, spacing, ride height, wheel offset.

It looks like you're stock ride height so that is promising. But you're looking at installing 20s on an M-car and that makes me question your life choices.

When I ask the barista if she can make me a quad shot espresso, it is not my coffee choice that she'll be judging.
