I have 20" Breyton rims and they are 255/30/20 in the front and 295/25/20 in the rear. When I have a full car and hit a bump on the highway, I hear wheels rub on the fenders. What can I do to fix this problem? Is flaring the fenders the only way?

rolling the fenders would help. also though, do you know the widths of the wheels?

Had the same problem with my Lexani 20's, that had the blue book setup for a 5 series of +35 offset. Rubbed bad all the way around, in the front it actually pulled my fender lip up. They took my rims off and shaved 5mm off the center, put 4 brand new tires (different make with a more rounded edge) and now are fixing my fender. Will post pics when i get it back. I did get to drive it for a couple of days before it went to the body shop, and had no more rubbing. Was really trying too, flying over railroad tracks and everything. Didnt have my fenders rolled. But happy with what they did. Agree with Leggomysakyo, width could also be ur issue, im running 245 front and 285 rears. Leggomysakyo lovin that 5 in ur sig bro! Looks good!

I'm having the same problem with my tires and I'm running a 285/25/20 tire in the rear. But I only get the rubbing on the driver side rear fender. I think I'll go with a narrower tire size next time. Probably 275/25/20 if I don't roll the rear fenders.

your tires might be a little too wide...
i'm running 245/35/20 fronts and 275/30/20 rears and i'm not rubbing at all.

you can go 275/30/20 ... 25 is actually too skinny in my taste
Im going to run these tires out before i get new ones. So what do you guys recommend I do? Is rolling the fenders an easy thing to do (not as a DIY but for me to rely on bodyshops to do)??
