I run 285/25/20 on a 37 offset in the rear. My car rubs once in a while on bumps. Im getting my fenders rolled soon so Ill let you know if it fixes it. Im sure it will as I dont rub much.

I dont know of many that make a 275/25R20. I would stay with the 285/25/R20 as thats much closer to stock diameter, and wont stretch the tire so bad on the 10 inch wheel.

Go with 285/25-20's. The 275/30-20's are too tall for the rears .

I agree on the 285/25R20. I have those on my 335 and they are great. They are about the closest to the OE specs.

I think 275/30 and 285/30 are too tall, and haven't seen any 275/25, so stick too 285/25.

Now the next challenge for you is finding a shop close to you that can mount that size.

So you mean, that i can have 285/25 R 20 at my 325 E92 '08 without rubbing?
What ET should i have on a 20x10" wheel to handle that?

I would stay around an ET40. That will be the safest bet.
