My Ride: Future owner of a 535 M Sport on order
Anyone have a e60 with sports package, 20 inch wheels lowered on H&R sport springs? I'm planning on lowering my car but the only thing stopping me is rubbing issues. I have 20 in rims with 245/35/20x9 fronts & 285/30/20x10.5 rears riding on Nitto 555's. My only concern is rubbing in the front wheels. If anybody has the same setup with pictures of their E60 can you please post them up and give me more info. Thanks ahead

member alpinewhite had H&R sports with 20s before he switched out to coilovers. im not sure about his tire sizes but if i remember correctly he never rubbed in the front, only in the rear.

H&R sports + 20" maya DLS

i wanna get coil overs too cuz H&R is still a bit soft for my huge offset rims, rubs occasionally
but before that i need even lower profile tires

one more pic on the side
if you wanna lower alot , don't go for H&R sports
i would say it's a perfect low for daily use
the bumper will be only 0.5inch from a standard curb, wouldn't scratch the mtech bumper =)

My Ride: E60 M5, F85 X5M
When I first put 20s on my old 545 with sports package, it would occasionally rub in the rear over bumps or dips; even after I rolled my fenders. I had 20x9 and 20x10 wheels with 245/35/20 F and 275/30/20 R Nitto NT555s. I then switched to KW Variant 2 coilovers and was able to lower my car a bit more yet there was completely no rubbing even with the car loaded with passengers. This is because I was able to stiffen up the shocks a bit and reduce the amount of up and down travel over bumps and dips.
