My Ride: 2006 525I
Hey all, I found a set of wheels here locally that are on an M5 but I wanted to ask a question about the fitment.
I have a 2006 525i and the tire size im looking to purchase are 255/35/20 front and 285/30/20. Should i experience any rubbing on normal driving? Also I see moslty everyone prefers 245-35-20 instead of 255-35 in the front, would that cause any rubbing in the front? Thnx everyone...

Thnx for the response, I guess an M5 has wider body thats why the guy im buying the 285's from reports no rubbing issues. So I guess the widest I can go on the rear on a non M5 (525i) is 275/30 ? thnx all for the help.
Do you know the widths and offsets?
