I have 20x10 and 20x8.5 wheels coming to me. I ordered the Eibach pro kit plus which will lower my car about 1.2 to 1.5 inches for a non sport 530i. I also have the Nitto Invo's 285 30 20 and 245 35 20 coming to me.
I'm having trepidation about this.
Will I run into some serious rubbing with the Eibach pro kit springs?
If so I'll have a new set of Nitto Invo's for sale.

To be honest, while the car looks good, I feel it took some fun out of driving the car since I have to be extra cautious on uneven roads. I'm cautious even on familiar roads to see how the car with the new bigger wheels will behave and hopefully not rub. The first time I went to work with my new wheels, I was going my usual speed and then rrrruuubbb! I was like "WTF?!!". Since then I have to slow down more on that part of the street.

DO you think rolling the fenders would help, or will i be fine without?
I had a feeling I would run into something like this.

Try it first without the springs. Although the Eibachs prokit claims a 1.2" drop on a non-sport, it is more like a 1" front with a .75" rear. The thing that will effect the rub factor is the offset, and the 285's will not help either, but many guys have run Eibachs with 20's successfully.

I'm on stock non-sport and recently got 20"s 245/35/20F 275/30/20R and I get rubbing in the rears on dips and especially if you have passengers in the rear. I'm re-learning how to drive my car...meaning slowing down more. To be honest, while the car looks good, I feel it took some fun out of driving the car since I have to be extra cautious on uneven roads. I'm cautious even on familiar roads to see how the car with the new bigger wheels will behave and hopefully not rub. The first time I went to work with my new wheels, I was going my usual speed and then rrrruuubbb! I was like "WTF?!!". Since then I have to slow down more on that part of the street.
