M8 forged wheels for the G01 fitment and tires

So I have been wanting to find a set of 20" wheels for the G01, and thdre are just not many options that I like. I actually have a set of like new m787, but want something slightly more agressive. The 21" options leaves very limited tire choices.

I did a bunch of research to see what other OEM BMW wheels would fit to give it a more agressive OEM+ look, and ended up picking up a set of M8 forged wheels which are the following specs:

20x9.5 et28 fronts
20x10.5 et28 rear

They are slightly wider than I'd like but preliminary fitment seems good ok, and digging through the forums, it matches some of the aftermarket setups others are running. Below are some pics let me know what you guys think.

I'm still looking for tires but having trouble finding a good setup. 255/45/20 285/4020, but but there are no good AS options. I want to get Conti DWS or Michelin Pilot Sport AS4s, but they don't have the rear size. If I run stock 245/45/20 275/40/20 then the fronts eill have to be stretched (just one 10mm too narrow), and rears just fit the bare minimum width.

Out of ideas outside of just sticking with the OEM options for the G01 or aftermarket (prefer a OEM+ look)

Isn't the front smaller and the rear bigger than stock size with that setup?

All I can remember about the factory tires are 245/275

Don’t remember stock wheel widths

You can try Michelin Pilot sport 4 SUV's in 255/45/20 and a 295/40/20. may give you more rim protection than stock tries sizes and no stretch. But its summer not AS
