295/25/20 rear tires: Will they fit on an E55?
Hey guys,
Will a 295 fit on the rear of our cars with no rear fender modifications? I know the 285/25/20s work, but will an extra 10mm cause problems?
Thanks
Tony

I think its tight no matter what our rim offset is - but you *might* just get away with it if your offset is spot on....

295s will definitely fit. i don't know about your profile, but you need to keep it as close to OEM as possible. Even a 3% increase in total diameter will change things.
Also, as DSC said, even though you may dial it in just right, you still need to keep suspension flex in mind. More rubber = better traction and even more load on the suspension. I have been running 295/30/18s on the rear for quite sometime now. More power will demand some suspension support work. Toe links is just the beginning.
