I have a stock 2008 550i with the sports package with 166s....does anyone know if I move up to 285/35 rear and 255/40 front tires, will they rub? Or will it be perfectly fine?

Thanks

Bob

Those are M5 spec size tires for the 166M M5 rims. Did you buy the wheel and tire setup off an M5? If so, put em on and try it out. But it will most likely rub.

I have 295/30/19 rear tires on my 172M rims.

The rear will be fine, but the front may hit the bottom of the strut shelf when you hit bumps...
