[size="2"]i just put a set of 20" rims on my 545i.when i hit a hard dip, my right front tire rubs???? i dont understand why? i have a 245/35/20 in the front. the left does not rub. does anyone know why or what i should check for? also my steering wheel shakes when i go 40+ i rebalanced the new tires but this did not help. the person at the rim shop said that the rear tires appear to be warped?????? he said sometimes the tires sit on the shelf too long and cause a "BUMP" in the tire so that it is not perfectly round. i ordered these rims from a rim place and i spoke with the owner and he said that they didnt install the spacer in the rear center of the rim and this could cause it????? he said if that didnt work that he would send me new rear tires. I neeed help!!!!! anyone experiance this or heard of it??? also what could i do to fix????!!!!! thanks guys

As for vibration, you should find out the inside diameter of the wheel. You need 72.56mm for the BMW. If these wheels are something like 74.1mm or more, you need hubcentric rings to fill the gap.
If you find that your wheel inside diameter is more than 72.56mm and your wheel dealer did not tell you that you needed rings, you will now know that your wheel dealer does not know much about wheels.

It may solve your problem if you get the right size.
As an added tip with rings, spin the wheels slowly as the bolts are being tightened. It is very important to get a perfect "center."
