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.

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.
