I think this is one of those wheels were tire sizes and stance will make it, or break it.


Here is a E60 Sport Package we installed these rims on. The customer wanted the best ride quality, and did not want to lower it. We ended up going with the taller tires. 245/35/20 and 275/30/20. For cosmetic's, I think it would have looked nicer if we had went with the 245/30/20 and 285/25/20, and lowered it.



I like that. It needs different bumpers though. Not saying I would get them though, only because I've seen cars I DONT like with them on. But the rims itselfs are nice

These cars are already low... Not sure why it'd need to be lowered... Must live somewhere with sily smooth roads...

Seeing a lowered BMW, is like having 300 lb guy tell you he lost 5 lbs... Probably can't tell...
My fronts rub on dips now (245/40/19 profile instead of a 245/35/19) - if I had it lowered...

Which makes me wonder, why in the hell are my tires rubbing, when mine isn't even lowered, and other folks... Ahhh- never mind.

Is it rubbing due to the offset of the width of your wheels?
