Hello all, sorry I am new to this and have not posted any pictures yet. I just wanted to know if I lowered my 2005 525i with the eibach prokit springs if it will rub with a 285/30/20 (rears) and 245/30/20 (fronts) set-up.

Front tires will need replacement soon, so any recommendations with what springs to buy, tire size, and if I need anything other than springs to avoid rubbing issues. I have also come across some posts that says to just roll the fenders, not quite sure what that means, any advice?

I will post pictures immediate, thank you in advance for your response.

I'm actually in the same situation. I just got 20" Rad R10s with 245-35-20 and 285-30-20 tires. Wondering if Eibach Pro-kits will cause rubbing.
