I have a 545i and it RUBS even after cutting the fenders down. If you rub right now then I suggest you DON'T lower it.
You should not rub with correct offset and a 1.2" drop with that tire combo.

Then your offset is incorrect.

But you are correct with offset...if you get the proper offset you should be fine.
