Hello everyone,

Im currently running 255/30/20 with 20 offset 8.5 wide wheel in the front and 295/25/20 in the back with an 25 offset and 10 wide wheel. I had H&R coilovers recently installed that don't make the tires rub at all. Need new tires and want more rim side wall protection. Jumping to the 35/30 series. I know a 275/30/20 in the back will clear with no issues but will a 245/35/20 in front rub? Or should I buy a 235/35/20 instead? Or roll the fenders???

Thank you for everyone's time and help.

Andrew

I will put same front tire next week. I do not know which 5do you have but u will need at least 92 load index tire I know it will be extremaly hard to findin low profile. I think that u would need lower offset and fenders rolled.

I'm running 265/30/20 all around with an ET38 offset all around and I haven't rubbed at all with the wheels cranked or going over heavy dips. Then again, I have a 535Xi
