Default 08 528i Style 95 Wheels - front tires rub help

Hello all, I just lowered my car with K-Sport Kontrol Pro, went to throw on my style 95 wheels after and front tires are rubbing I assume the Ksport.. The wheels I just bought also and already had tires on them.

Fronts - 245/45/19
Rears - 275/40/19
I even tried using 5mm spacers and still rub.
What would be my next option? What have people done to use the Style 95 wheels on there E60?
The rears are fine, no rub at all even the tuck look.
Please help.. Any suggestions?

A couples things. If you have oem 95's then your offsets up front are too high. If it is rubbing on the shock body you need to get a 12-14mm spacer at least to make the wheel clear the shock body. Then that will lead to another problem that your current tires on your wheels are way too tall. Due to that it probably rubs on the fender liner but with the spacers it will rub even more. You should really run a 245/35-19 size tire up front. Also you will have to drop the rears down to a 35 series tires so it does not mess with the dsc/DTC system.

Would I be ok with just getting new tires and not the spacers with the tire size suggested?
Tire suggestion 245/35/19-Fronts and 275/35/19

How about if I go with 235/40/19-fronts and 265/35/19- rears? Would that be ok without no spacers at all?

For 19" wheels the proper size tires will be 245/35-19 and 275/30-19. Have you looked to see what is exactly rubbing? Is it the inner wheel and the shock body or is it the tire rubbing the fender lining when the suspension is under compression?

It's the inner tires rubbing the shock. Thanks. I guess I'll try to sell these tires so I can get new ones.
I should just run 245/35 and 275/35
