Hi Guys,
I have 20x8.5 iforged wheels with 245x35x20 inch falken tires in the front and it RUBS! It usually rubs when I am slightly turning and hit a dip. Not sure what the offset of the wheels are, but the iforged wheels are made for the e60. Can the front fender be rolled?

try a 30 series instead, 35 is pretty big if your car is canned. You can have the fender rolled, but Id be carefull, in most instances the paint starts to chip, crinkle...

Jim, you can get the fronts rolled. check also the hard plastic piece inside where the bumper and fender come together. that's where I was rubbing before too. Im running 245/35/20 in the front as well.

I had the same problem. All you have to do is cut the front fenders. It still does it a little bit...you just have to be carefully and go slow when the steering wheel is turned.
