Hello everyone,

Im currently running 255/30/20 with 20 offset 8.5 wide wheel in the front and 295/25/20 in the back with an 25 offset and 10 wide wheel. I had H&R coilovers recently installed that don't make the tires rub at all. Need new tires and want more rim side wall protection. Jumping to the 35/30 series. I know a 275/30/20 in the back will clear with no issues but will a 245/35/20 in front rub? Or should I buy a 235/35/20 instead? Or roll the fenders???

Thank you for everyone's time and help.

Andrew

Question for you bro- Im wanting to drop my 528 & run a 20" wheel package - why are you looking to get away from the 35/30 series sidewall combos ? My buddy owns a shop out here in Huntington Beach & was recommending a 19" wheel tire package with coilovers I just really want to run 20" do they ride that bad????
Thanks Josh

I am running Genunie 20" MK Motorsport Wheels on my e60 539, 9" at the front with et15 and 10.5" at the rear with et22, with Bilstien Coilovers,

The tyres are 245/35/20 front and 255/35/20 at the rear,

If it were a 10" or 10 1/2 wheel i should have 265 or 275 on the rear wheel but i like a little strech and this 255 fits nicely

There is No way i would put a 25/30 profile set up due to lack of tyre between the wheel and road

If its new tyres your needing, and your worried about fitment/rubbing go for 245/35 fronts and 275/35 rear, the strech will be minimum and should fit with no problems

I'm currently running H&R coilovers on OEM 166 wheels, tires sizes are 245/40zr/19 in the front and 285/35zr/19 in the rear. I'm also running a 12mm spacer in the rear. Rolled fenders with no rubbing what so ever. I'll post pictures tomorrow.

As promised some pictures, thinking about maybe swapping out the 12mm and going with 15mm
