Hey everyone just wondering if anyone has any ideas as far as what to do about clearance issues in the front. I just installed 20inch Miro 111s 245/35/20 tires all the way around. I got 9.5 wide all the way around. The car is not lowered yet. It rubs if i have passengers in the car and go over a speed bump. It rubs in the front on the inner fenders. It does not hit the actual metal lip of the fender. I know that will be an issue once i lower it but what can be done as far as rubbing the inner fender? Any ideas im sure someone has ran into this before. I refuse to keep it stock height and not lower it. I have had people tell me to pull the inner fenders out....i refuse to do that as well. Just looking for ideas, im a technician at a dealer (not a bmw dealer) so i have access to multiple tools and equipment. Just looking for the best way possible to take care of it. Thanks in advance

Rubbing the inner liner is common with 20" wheels. Most people will just bend it or remove. I personally just bent it.

How do you bend it and get it to stay since its plastic? Do you heat it with a heat gun to kind of re-form it?

If you look at the front, it has a small tab that stick out. That is where it is hitting. Get you wheel well rolled (cost prob $80-100) Also, when mine rubbed, I had the tire well rolled, and it still rubbed, but not as much. Then I went to 20/30's instead of 20/45's and the problem solved.The 45's stick out more than the 30's. Hope that helped you out.
