Hola amigos!
I'm a newbie and in need of a little help. I put some MRR GT1 20"s on my 530. I then lowered it from stock (non-sport) with the Eibach Pro Kit springs and I experienced alot of rubbing....on the freeway...traintracks...every little bump. I was forced to put the stock springs back on, but I prefer the lowered look. Any suggestions on how to fix this??
Also, what is 'rolling the fenders'??
Thanks in advance.

I have 20s with Sport Package and I do get a little rubbing on the front going over some bumps. As I understand it, rolling the fenders simply extends the edge of the lip of the fender outwards.

+1 rolling the fenders would cure the rubbing. rolling the fenders would give more room in the wheel well for where the rubbing would normally occur, making the fenders slightly thinner.

you wont be able to see any difference from the outside. it would be the inside of the fenders that would be rolled. here's the typical way of rolling fenders:

These are the same wheels but 19s. I'm selling these now, as I have put 20s on....but honestly the 19s were a better fit and look.
