Default rear tire size

My car is 2006 530i sports with oem m5 wheel. The rear tire size now is 285/30/19. Is it ok to have 295/30/19 for the rear without rubbing fender? Thanks

With the 285/30x119's you're already running one size up from stock (275/30x19). The overall difference in diameter moving from "stock" to 285/30x19 is about 1/2" ...
so you may have clearance but I'm thinking this would "over-tire" your 530 e60.

I went from a 275/30/19 to 295/30/19 on my 550i 172m wheels. The wider rubber protects my rims from the many bad roads we have down here. If the 166m M5 offsets are the same as mine, you will be fine, no fender rolling required.

Anybody know if 172m and m5166 wheels have the same offsets.
Thanks
