Can I lower with this set up?

I have the Adant Garde M355 (M5 Replicas) 20x9 ET35 with 255/35 tires and 20x10.5 with 295/30 tires. Can I install the H R Springs without rubbing or having to roll my fenders?

I just lowered. You can always test fit it on mine to be sure.

I have 20x10.5 with 3mm lower offset than you do but a 285 30 20 tire and I dont rub

Does 3 mm lower mean it sticks out 3 mm more? If so that should mean mine should fit no problem lowered then. Thanks.

I have ACS and just put on OEM M5 343 rim/tire setup with 295s in the rear and it rubs over freeway dips at speed and when passengers are in the back. Trying to find a solution

I have the same rim and same problem with megan coilover so my shop told me to go for 285/30.

If you have ET35 at the back I think you will have the same problem as me.
If you are in ventura you can come to see my on telephone and victoria ave next to Chipotle after 11:30 am.

Thanks WatchF10. You have the factory wheel or AG? My offset is 38 so that does move it in slightly. Have errand to run today so will plan to swing by. Got you message with your number thanks.
