Fender gap should remain the same, right? I'm presuming you go with a lower aspect ratio tire to accommodate the larger rim diameter.

If not, it depends on what tire you choose.

Right now i have 245/40/19 275/35/19 setup and i am planning to go to 265/35/20 295/30/20 . I think because of the wider tires fender gap will still change. More precisely M5 wheels + H&R springs setup is what i am looking for.

I’m thinking of getting the H&R springs. By any chance did you use any well spacers? If so what size front and back?

Front fender gap will close by 0.4", rears will close by 0.2"

AKA there's basically zero fender gap change.
