My Ride: 2007 530i Silver Grey (premium, sport, nav)
![Default](https://5series.net/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
I recently leased a new 530i and am considering modding the stock wheels to 20's again. I had 20's on my last E60 with the eibach pro kit sport springs. Does anyone have picts of their car with 20's on a sport package with no lowering? I'm concerned that the gap will be too big between the fender and tire if I do not lower it again.

Here are a couple pics of my car with 20s and sports package before I lowered it. Looks like there was still a 1.5"-1.75" gap above the wheels.

And then I lowered it a bit with KW 2 coilovers. Right now, there's probably a 2/3"-3/4" gap:
