Looking to place some 20s on my 04 non sport package 525. Sportline (2" front 1.2" rear) or Pro Kit (1.2" front and rear. Will the Sportline cause any problems? your thoughts?

I would definately go with sportline. Given that your car doesn't have sport package. The 2" drop up front and 1.2" in back should fill up all your fender gap

I would wait first before dropping. Get your wheels and tires installed and then determine which kit to go with. Most likely you will be fine with the Sportline.

Cool....I was thinking the same. Heard you may have to roll the fenders though....I'll mount them first and go from there. Thanks for the input. Much appreciated.

Depending on the offset of the rims, fender rolling is not needed

what about buying custom rims (offsets, size, width). Companies like iForged, Agio, HRE, DPE..don't they make custom offsets to match your aggressive/sporty drop so that you don't rub you inner fenders?
