That's crazy that 19x9.5's rub when you can fit 20x11's on it.

My thoughts exactly. Even BMW is now offering 19 inch optional wheels on the 5 series.

The biggest problem is that you have 275/35 instead of 275-30 tires

You speedo is wrong and you have too much tire in the wheel well

That with the wrong offset creates rubbing

My BBS RS-GT's are 19x8.5 front with 15mm offset, 19x9.5 rear with 25mm offset. No rubbing or any problems whatsoever.

Yeah, but don't they shorten the axle when adding larger and wider wheels. My 540 sport has a slightly narrower tract than a non sport with narrower wheels. Presumably to allow for the wider wheels and tires.
