New wheels for the E63

I apologize as I know the topic of tire size has been discussed ad nauseam; however, I just ordered new ModSport 8 wheels for my E63 and the shop is recommending that I go with the following setup:

Front: 20x8.5 with 245-30-20 Falken 452
Rear: 20x10 with 285-25-20 Falken 452

Can't I run 20x9 on the front of my E63 without rub?

If so I need to make the change tomorrow.

Thanks in advance.

I am running a very similiar sized scheme. My fronts however are 19X8.5 and I did have to roll the fender lip to utilize the sport 2 suspension setting...then I went to the ELM module from Renntech. My rears are the size you listed and no problemo there at all. I would look into having the fronts rolled to run this combo you are thinking about. Definately will rub with the 20x9's in front prolly on sport 1 setting or maybe even on luxury setting. Good luck and post some pics of that beast when she is done...she is going to be real pretty on that set up!
