I have a 2005 530i non-sport which has H&R sport springs installed and 20 inch wheels with a 245/35/20 front and a 275/30/20 in rear I have rubbing issues in the front when turn up a slight incline on the left and right side where it pulls the fender, I just had alignment and Iam running a negative camber of -1.0 up front and still RUBS!???????????

ANY FEEDBACK WOULD BE GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks

You would need 225 / 35 / 20 front to avoid this issue.

Sounds like your front offset is a bit too aggressive. What is the off set and how wide are your front and rear rims?

get fitted/pro spacers H&R or from the wheelmaker that you have, are they replicas?

i have 19" and lowered like hell with 245 at the front, with Breyton spacers, no rubbing at all
good luck
