No rubbing!
550I with sports package. Not lowered.
Thinking 245/35/20 front and 285/30/20 rear???
But it's very hard to find these tires.
Thanks!

My Ride: 2007 550i White/Black, SMG, Sports Pkg, Comfort Access, Nav, HUD, Satellite Radio, Anthracite Maple Trim
2006 X5 3.0, Black/Black, Sports Pkg, Premium Pkg, Xenon Adaptive Headlight, NAV, Rear Climate Pkg, Anthracite Trim
245/35/20 front should be ok if you're not going to lower it or not lowering it too much. if you're going to use lets say H&R Race then you should think about 245/30/20 in the front. For the back 285/30/20 if you lower it it might rub. You might need to roll the rear fender. What you can use is 275/30 or 25 /20 in the rear it should rub alot less. All this depends on the offset of the rims too. Like for me I'm going to lower my car with H&R Race so my set up's gonna be 245/30/20 fr and 275/25/20 in the back with rolled fenders. I hope that helped

My Ride: 535d Sport, carbon black, media pack, visibility pack, grey leather, heated seats, sun protection glass, voice control, Eibach ProKit, 19" 166 style wheels, e-maps ECU remap to 325hp and 640NM, top speed limiter removed
I'd use the standard conversion to keep the rolling radius and circumference in line, which should be
245/30/20 front and 285/25/20 for the rears.
245/30/20 front and 285/25/20 for the rears.

I vote for 255/30/20 front and 295/25/20 rear! sure no rub from this setup!
But easier to dent your wheels compared to 245 35 and 275 30

I have 255/30 and 295/25 PS 2. Not one hint of rubbing, rides super. And IMHO, what would bend a 245/35 will bend a 255/30. In any event, just in case you need to know, I got 2 245/35's in at the same time as the 255/30, as I was really skeptical about them. The 245/35 is significantly taller, in case that is important to you. Hope this helps...
