not lowered much then right?
Mine are et 29 but 8.5" so about the same flush as yours and where they rub is the tire against the fender liner front during turns.

With your offset, your wheels should be about 2.6 mm more inside of the fender compared to mine.

not lowered at all. as you can see up front, the tires are not "inside" the fender at all. I realize mine could actually be lowered, like yours, but the rub I mentioned is the fender lining at about 9 o'clock looking at left front wheel and only on full lock turn and maybe only on the left wheel, not the right

I wonder if my tires don't rub due to the fact that I have the M Package. Maybe the fenders are a bit wider?

hey, remove the photo from your quote so the page space isn't taken up 
No, your fenders are identical. You just haven't noticed the very minor tire scrub I only noticed when it was wet and the window was down and heard a little squeak. It's almost non-existant unless turning at an angle into a sloped curb cut/driveway. I'm picky like that.

Vossen Wheel Update
OK, It's been a month since I started my research into the world of custom wheels or rims, is up to you what term you wish to call these exotic contraptions. Some, will call it art in motion and others the missing piece. I call it the final reason for her to divorce me. A women will never understand why we go after the secular lifestyle of showing off our chariots. It's the way we tell the world how unique and different we are from others. The people that don't have a clue why they wake up in the morning or how to act. For the rest of us we do it like this. I just pulled the trigger and ask for forgiveness later. Here is what all my research guided me to buy.
Wheels: Vossen VVSCV7 Silver Polished .
Bought new at a great price. Expecting delivery in a week.
Front 9.0 +35 5x120 76.52 hub centric Vossen recommendation
Rear 10.5 +42 5x120 76.52 hub centric Vossen recommendation
Thinking of buying.
Tires: Michelins Sport A/S Plus are a option. Probably will wait for the new Sport A/S Plus 3 scheduled for May. But at that time they will not have the 245/35/20. Maybe later in the year. I should wait until June maybe they will have them. NOT, I know myself, I won't wait. Even if I'm in Afghanistan, U.S.A ETA June for R&R. I would like to see my chariot 2009 528ixDrive stock with new shoes soon.
Front 245/35/20 WheelTec Recommendation
Rear 285/30/20 WheelTec Recommendation
