I have not experienced rubbing with this tire diameter, it's just that after an tanker truck backed into my right fender, it rubbed a little until fender was pulled back out.
Any car with a FULL load will rub in the rear fender liner when you hit dips in the highway at speed.
About the suspension, factory e61 with the sport package do not have a lower suspension like the 3 series would. For the 5 series wagons, the package is trim items only.

franco, is your car lowered? What sizes are you running?
The difference between the CS7 and SF-71... CS7 = 8 sets of spokes, SF-71 = 7 sets of spokes

Hey Lug - sorry for the dumb question but what is the difference between the CS7 and the SF-71??? I got a set of one of these last yr and loved the way they looked but kinda disappointed with them. Typical pothole story but in my opinion the hole wasn't really that big etc. Well long story shot - bent the sh@t out of my right front and actually split the rear resulting in about a 1 and a half in split. Anyway here are a couple of pics of mine (sorry about the pic quality, as I've been playing with Photoshop and I think I got a little carried away with adjustments etc...) BTW - sorry if the pics dont post - I havent posted in a while and not sure if I did it correctly...

I'll post up some pictures, but I'd like to help share some info.
I have 265/30/20 tires all around, with 8.5 wide rims in the front and 9.5 rims in the back....both with an offset of ET38. The front barely brushes the dust shields in the front when the wheel is completely turned, like enough to brush the dirt off and that's it. I haven't had any rub in the back.
So I would say this is a successful fitment on the Xi.
