Default tire size for 20' DPE for 09 528i

what up everyone! so i have been searching around for tires for a while, and finally picked some up today. hankook v12 evo (255/35/20 (F) and 285/30/20), which was suggested to me by a local performance shop. I have been reading that 255 fronts will rub against the fender. so my question is....can i roll my fenders to stop rubbing? my car is also lowered on KW V2. any suggestions would help. thanks! apologies if this question is redundant!

The front tire is a bit tall, it should be a 255/30r20 to keep it the right height otherwise you'll rub the top of your fender which rolling won't help. You will need to get the front fenders rolled to prevent rubbing on the side when hitting bumps and the offsets for the front wheels need to be et13 to clear the KW V2 CO. I just went through all this last weekend when I had my V2's installed.

okay coo, thanks Booyaazaa!
I thought it would clear since i previously had 245/30 in the front but when i compared the two , the 255/35 was way more beefier than i expected. i also had to get a 5mm spacer to clear the front coil. thanks for the info!
