Oh it depends on so many many things, that it's impossible to say yes/no.
Do some searching on this forum and I think you'll get the answer for you.

And welcome to the E60forums!

As stated above, when done with the right combination of wheel offset, tire size and lowered stance.....shouldn't rub, even with a full load.

Btw, my 20" Asanti wheels are for sale and have the perfect offset for the e60! . Click on the link below for details.
