put my new rims on the other day and im getting a little bit of rubbing when the wheel is cranked all the way to either side. The rims are 20x8.5, any suggestions?

what wheel is this? who sold you the wheel? i think you need to roll your fenders...got pics? and what is the offset and what tire you using? need more information to help out.

They are Falken rims, and Falken tires. the offest is 20 and the tire size is 255/35/20R.
i would post pics but i dont have 20 posts yet, lol

get yourself m5 fender liners...it should help with giving more clearance...and also did you roll your fenders?

I heard m5 liners dont help that much.

i have not rolled the fenders, will give that a shot this weekend. For the liners, is there any place you can recommend to buy from?

Can you tell where the tire is rubbing? On inside of fender lip or on the wheel liner? The 255 wide tire on the front might be a factor

255/35/20 is about 1.5" too tall. That's your problem right there.

its rubbing just a bit on the fender lip. should rolling the fenders take care of this?

245 35 20 or 255 30 20 is the size to use.

Running the 245/35R20 would help but it is still 1" taller than stock. There really isn't a good size to run on the E39 for 20" wheels. Even with the 245/35R20 you are probably going to need to roll the fender lips and maybe trim the fender liner.

245 35 20 is the correct size for the e39, this size works all day long. for more tire fitments visit sizeitup.com this site will give more info for what you are looking for
