My Ride: E60
Hey guys,
I recently lowered by e60 530i with H&R coil-overs. Currently running 20 inch rims for the summer with 255/30/20 in front 20 offset and 295/25/20 in the back with 25 offset. I need to get new tires and really want to add side wall size for rim protection with a 245/35/20 and 275/30/20. Saw a lot of members are running the 35/30 series on here. Will I need to roll by fenders a 100% to run this set up? I don't slam my car too low with the coil-overs just low enough to eliminate wheel gap. Should I only jump up series size in rear because It's only a .6 inch difference compared to .9 front to OEM? Please need someone with this same set up or issue in the past to give me advice. Thanks in advance.

i dont think u will have to roll ur fenders because ur new tires sizes arent as wide, just a little meatyer. if anything u might get some plastic fender well rub. if so just go up on the coilovers a few mm;s. or keep rubbing untill u make a nice lil groove in the plastic and it wont rub anymore
