(MHS525)- i'm not exactly sure where it's rubbing, when i turn my wheel all the way left or right i see the tire touching the inner splash guards. Another member suggested to run offset of 20 but keep 20x9 instead of the 8.5 HRE suggested. Initally that's what i order was 20x9 F, 20x10 R. But the offset was really low offset 8.
So, i'm thinking of having them change it back to 20x9 and change the offset to 20 instead of 14. What do you guys think of the offset for the front?

I looked at 20" wheels on tirerack to try and get an idea on widths and offsets. I looked at BBS wheels because I am familiar with them. Tirerack lists a range of offsets that will fit and E60. Including BBS LM R 20x9 8mm offset, CK 20x8.5 15 mm offset and CH R 20x9 24mm offset. So both wheels they provided should work OK... in theory.
Tirerack also suggest a 255/30 size tire. Based on my experience I would go with a 20x8.5 (half inch less width to deal with) and a 245/30 tire.
Are you sure your suspension is OK, no blown shocks or broken springs that are making the car sit low?

Rolling your front and rear fenders would be the easiest solution. It costs around $50 for fronts/rears or $100 total which is pretty much what you already spent on shipping. Aggressive wheels + fender roll = massive lip, aggressive stance, no rubbing issues.
