I currently have an 2005 530i non-sport with an eibach pro kit. I'm running 295/25 Toyo's on 20*10 Radial 32's and have not had any rubbing issues. I would like to try new tires and a new size. I've read great reviews on the Hankooks and Falkens but I'm not 100% sure on the tire size (285/30, 275/30, or 295/25). In understand that one stretches better than the other and the Hankooks will last a lot longer. The goal is no rubbing without getting my fenders rolled or my rims shaved down. Help me out please.

Since you have no issues with 295/25x20 (diameter 25.8") and it is very close to the OEM 19" overall diameter of 25.6",why not stick with that and try the Hankook Ventus V12 evo tyre?
A 275/30x20 has a 26.5" diameter and the 285/30x20 has a diameter of 26.8" .The extra inch or so could give you rubbing problems as well as changing your gearing and your speedometer accuracy.
