Been searching the forum - can't find the answer....

Have m166 with M6 offest on my 2004 545 NON-sport suspension. I want to try 285/30 r19 in the rear and maybe 255/35 r19 in the front. Looking at the Continental ExtremeContact DWS (Ultra High Performance All-Season)

Will I have rubbing issues with the M6 offset and non-sport suspension?

(Currently have 275/30 and 245/35 General UHP)

that front size will probably be a problem, you will probably be ok with the rear, i have a 06 550i sport and 245/35 in the front with m6 wheels also and they fill it out completely, i wouldnt go any bigger

I agree, 255 is too aggressive for the front and may cause rubbing. Best bet is 245 for the front. Your rear tires should be fine.

I have 245/35 front and 285/30 rear.
