Hey all, I just bought some Asantis 128s from another member here. The setup is 255-35-20 in the front, and 275-35-20 in the rear. I have the sport's package on my 07. I do know that the rears are 35s its a little thick usually people go with 30s, but it is not only the back that rubs but the front too. I have to drive slow, no more than 50 or else if i hit the slightest bump I will feel it and hear it. So my question is, what options do I have? I was considering rolling my fenders. Will that help?

rolling fender should be about 100 or less.. most expensive place i saw was 200 in east coast..
but for front theres not that much room to roll up fenders..
255 fits in m5 fenders.. not regular 5 series.
i tried to do roll but i decided not too.. I would just recommand getting a new tires...

If you go this route go w/ the Falken 452. 245/35/20 & 275/30/20. The design of the tire helps w/ people who rub.

I would bro, but the tires are good. And The rears needed to be replaced so I already ordered the same spec tires, paid some good money for them too. I had a bad experience with 30s instead of 35s ratio tires. I dented one of my wheels before. I guess I will need to roll them.
yeah 35 will give you more room but it wont fit man... when you turn it will touch the wheel liner on the front...
and if you look at the fender it is already rolled up pretty much.
i tried everything to put 255 on mine after i got wheels with tires which came with 255..
if you can change tires and see if you can return the tire so that you can replace all..

245/35/20 and 275/30/20 will not rub for everyday driving. If you are lowered on any type of springs or coilovers, I would highly recommend you to roll your fenders. Your current setup will rub no matter how fast your drive because the thickness of side walls of in the rear tires will rub. PM sent on rolling fenders.
