new wheels

[and1p]

hi i have an e60 535d sport. i have recently bought a set of ac schnitzer 20 inch alloys. the rears had a 25 profile and were too low. i put 30's on and the tyres catch the arches when i accelerate hard. the fronts have 30 profiles and don't rub and look well in the arch. will m5 springs go on my shocks and raise the ride height, or would i be better off putting se springs on ro raise the car? any help would be appreciated. many thanks

Hi Andrew...welcome to the Forum

Catch 22 situation. I suppose it looks awesome with the wheels tucking up under the arches but then as you accelerate then it rubs....catch 22 !

I guess the answer is to fit M5 springs to avoid this (less compliance) and still keep the look as you suggested.

Let us know how you get on with it.

p.s. would love to see what the car looks like if you want to post up a piccy of it, if you want
