Hi All....

i have an 05 545 with sport suspension and i just got a set of 166 M5 wheels with 245/35 fronts and 285/35 rears......im looking to put a set of Eibach springs and was wondering if anyone had this setup already and if anyone had and issues with rubbing......i think the fronts might be OK but im not sure about the rears.

any info is much appreciated

It might if rear offset is 20 or less(towards flush). 285/35 is a big tire

you will defiantly have some rubbing issues even with 275 rears i think, just have your fenders rolled. helped me out so much when i rolled mine.front and rear.
