My fellow E60 members,

Need some help. I came up on some Asanti wheels which I just put on and I'm rubbing like crazy mainly in the front when I'm on the freeway. Rims are black asanti 120 (front) 20x9 245/35/20 (rear) 20x10 275/30/20. Need some advise??



Thanks guys,


2004 bmw 525 sport(stock)

Have you rolled your fenders yet?

fronts are too wide, i had the exact same wheels on my 535.

my set up was front 20x8.5, rear 20x10.5 with the proper offsets. had not rubbing issues whatsoever in the same exact tires

I am considering rolling the fenders. Should I do all four or just the fronts. What tire size is it suppose to be?

you should definitely roll the fenders rolled. But make sure they roll them with the proper tool. If they try to roll them with a round bar go somewhere else because the paint on your fenders will end up chipping. good luck

Is it rubbing inside or out side? if inside consider 10mm spacers that would help.

I dont think the fronts are to wide. I had a similiar problem when I had my Asantis. Which tires are you running? I had the PZeros on and the sidewalls were causing the problem, then I had the Nitto 555 it wouldnt rub only when I hit bumps in a certain way. The best tire IMO to correct this problem would be the Falken 452. Whn I had these tires I had no rubbing issues.

Another option would be to shave the offset by 3mm if there is enough to shave off from the front wheels.
