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
My rear offset is +22 so its very close to factory, which is +20. What do you think?? should I try the 295/25/20?? since they are on sale for $89(hankook) at tirerack

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?
Correct Frank, except I run a 295/30/20 in the rear now. I had some problems with bumps/bent wheels so I went to a higher series in hopes I don't have the same problem. I will say that both rear fenders have to be rolled in order to eliminate rubbing. If you're rubbing with a 275/30 the 295/25 will most likely rub. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it will.

I have 285/30/20's on the rear and have no problem with rubbing. I have 245/35/20's on front, and in some driveways, I rub a little. (It sounds like it's rubbing in front and not in back) I'm on the standard sport suspension.
I GOT THE SAME ISSUES AS U.

im running 295 25 20 and im rubbing my car is lowered with h&r's i rolled the fenders and now it only rubs on one side when i go thru a dip in the road or if i have some weight in the right side of the car the person that rolled my fenders said if it rubs to take it back and he will roll some more hopefully this will get rid of it for me or maybe i might change my springs to eibach's ive heard there drop in the rear isnt so drastic as with h&r's

It really depends on the offset of your rear wheels. My offset is +19 and I'm running 295's and they still rub even with rolled fenders and cut fender lining.

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??
I'm running 285/25/20 on my rears and I rub on big dips and if I have 2 people in my back seat (Still running on stock sport suspension and have not lowered my car). I'm going to go with a 275/25/20 when it's time to change my tires, as I don't want to roll my fenders, this should solve the problem.

i am also having the same problem, my setup is just big over all. i have 255/35/20 and 285/30/20 and offset is +8 and +15. to top things off, my car is lowered on h&r springs. should 245/35/20 and 275/30/20 work on my car ? or should i try raising it to stock height?

Damn that front tire is too tall and too wide. To keep things close to your stock wheel sizing you should go with 245/30-20 and 285/25-30 or 275/30-20. Those offsets are pretty aggressive so you might need some more negative camber to help them clear the fender.
