20's with 8'5" in front and 10" in rear... tirerack.com recommends 255/30/20 in front and 295/25/20 in rear. Personally, I am planning on paying extra for this tire set-up instead of rolling/shaving fenders. Most people I have seen with 20's have larger profiles than this... thus, rubbing... or rolling... etc. However, smaller profile will definitely provide a stiffer/less comfortable ride... but it will also keep your speedometer consistent. If you go with any other profile than the one above, your speedometer may be slightly off.

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)

looks like you got the one off from 7 serires or something and used same size tires

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.

front tires are dunlops and rears are parelli. And the rims came off a 6 series. Need more advise I am going to get them fixed this weekend.
