I just purchased a new set of AC SChnitzer Type III racing wheels for my e60. I had the face powdercoated black to match my car. They are 20x9.5 front and 20x10.5 in the rear. I have yet to put them on so I am hoping they fit OK. The tires for the front are 255/30 and the rear is 295/20. Anyone know if this setup will be Ok without making any fender adjustments? The car is lowered about 1.3 inches on H&R sport springs. Another question i have is regarding spacers. AC SChnitzer provided a set of spacers for the wheels. If I put them on, will the wheels stick out of the fenders too much? If I don't pu them on, will the tires rub against the car when turning? Thanks in advance for any input you all have.

AC Schnitzer provide the spacers so the offsets are correct for the 5 Series

The dropp might be a problem

Look forward to some pics. I have heard issues of rubbing on non-lowered cars with 20x10.5s in the back. You may need to get your fenders rolled.
