just ordered a pair of 20mm H&R spacers for the rear and am now wondering whether they will cause rubbing. The car is a 525d msport so has sport suspension and 172 style replicas with 275/30/19. Anyone run this combo or know whther I will be ok?

As far as I can tell I believe they are et 25 on the rear as opposed to et 32 for the genuine rims? Does this mean I will be likely to rub?

If they are too wide, can't you just get the fenders rolled?

I don't really fancy getting the fenders rolled. I think I'll cancel my order and go with 15s to be safe.

I have the OEM 166's and 20mm spacers, they look perfectly flushed to the fenders. So I think you will be good with them 172's as well.

In the front the 166's are perfect without spacers, but rear some spacers look good.
