Yes, it will rub if you don't roll the fenders in the rear definitely, the front will depend on the offsets. As for tires? 245/35/20 front and 275/30/20 rear has worked well for me. The recommended tire size is 245/30/20 front and 295/25/20 rear - but I am not brave enough to run tires that thin, even on the roads in SoCal

Thats the thing every site i go to only shows the widths and not the offsets.
Ive seen two sites one says each wheel is in the 20s offsets and the other 40s and 20s maybe im doing somthing wrong? Any wheel vendor care to help out ?

On the E60 anything above 25 offset will not work unless you have an Xi (AWD) model. My 20's have M6 offsets, which are fairly aggressive (18 F, 22 R), you can go 20 F and 25 R and be really aggressive, but anything above that is not for a RWD E60

The setup I'm running is front 20x9 et18 and rear 20x10.5 et 25. There is no rubbing except for the fact I upped my front tire size to a 255/30r20 But I fixed that last month by getting my fenders rolled.

Ok i was hust told by a vossen rep that the specs for the wheels are as follows The VVS-086 5x120 20x9 has ET20 and ET25. The 20x10.5 comes in ET27 and
ET42. So my questions now are , wich fitments would give me a deeper lip in the rear and front and with the set up would it clear the fenders and not rub ?

Your best choice out of those specs are 20x9 ET20 in front and 20x10.5 ET27 in rear. Those will give you deeper lip unless the lower offset has been carried out by thickening the wheel hub.

I would choose 235/35 R20 and 275/30 R20.
