Does anyone have a lowered(with springs) and 295/25/20 in the rear(tires)???? Can you tell me how is the setup?? any rubbing???
I have a 535I lowered with HR springs and now run 245/35/20 in front and 275/30/20 in the rear but having a little problem when going into driveway and some turns. (my offset for rear is +22) At some uneven roads, rear rubs also. I am thinking changing tires to 295/25/20 for rear and 245/30/20 for front. I know that front will run nicely but what about rear?? does anyone know if it will rub??

poleposition and anand_rahim run the 295/25/20 tire size on their E60s.
I could be wrong, but I don't think they're lowered, just OEM sport suspension.
What is the width on your rear wheels?

I just recently got a used 545i so I am not sure about the suspension setup but I have 295/25/20 on the rear and 255/30/20s up front and occasionally I will hit enough of a bump to rub.
But not like a bump or pothole in the road...its more like if you go through an intersection at hwy speed that rises at the middle and then drops away again on other side. But just normal driving around has not been too bad.. And the rubbing has occurred maybe 3 or 4 times in the last month and a half.
I can track down what the prior had done for suspension if you need.. it has the sport package, that much i know.

hi bro iforged do not stamp the offset on the rims for some reason. I also have a set of Hamann 20" I can check the offset on them for u. The rears are 10.5 * 20 and they also give me no rubbing
