The tires will fit but it all depends on what the offsets are on your wheels. I'm thinking front offset > 25mm and rear offset > 30mm.

295.....wow!! I rubbed with 285 with H&R sports, but I had 10mm spacers in the rear. After knocking them out and rolling the right fender, I didn't rub at all, even with coilovers. Based what I heard from Eurorev, you can roll the fenders like 3 times.

GO FOR IT MAN!~

thanks for the input guys, i will definitely get my fender rolled tomorrow.
the wheels are HRE 547R, i don't know what the offset is, but they're custom made for E60.

one last question;
is there anything bad with fender rolling??? will everything be ok if i put my stock rims back later on?

The problem with fender rolling is the paint can crack, but this is based on the shop's experience.

It's not going to matter how much fender rolling you do, the 255/30/20 tires won't fit if the offsets are not right. You need to find out what the offsets are.

update....

i just installed the wheels my self today. WOW, 295 in the rear looks aggressive as hell.... but i might have some problem with the front because when i turn the wheels, it is almost touching the wheel well. I haven't got a chance to drive the car yet, i was just testing it in my garage.

Pics of the 295 in the rear? That's what I'm considering for my setup in the rear. Thanks.
