But they worth every penny, braking is amazing, like on a proper spor car!

Has anyone confirmed whether these will fit with a 20 inch wheel?

The pics so far lead me to believe they won't, but would like absolute conformation from anyone who has tried.

I have done some tracking with my X3m recently (will write a review when photographer sends me pics), running a Paul Johnson E70 tune (o-60mph in 2.75 seconds), straight line power isn't an issue.

It was a total beast on the circuit but brakes were a massive issue. Currently it can pull a decent time for 2-3 laps max on a short track, beyond that driving at 100% it does not end well, and I am running SRF fluid and EBC blue pads.

I'd love to squeeze in a set of 20's for the track, Michelin Pilot Cup 2's 285 at the front and 295 at the rear would be awesome.

Unfortunately this sizing isn't possible in 21's and the 295 rear and 265 front leads to a lot of under steer.
Best I can do with 21's is 315 rear and 275 front but that would make under steer worse.
