Wheel Fitment Question

Hey all..... Need your expertise.

Will a 20x10.5 +27 fit in the rear of my E55? The fronts are 20x8.5 +35 so im sure those will fit fine. I have an opportunity to buy some HREs but do not want to commit to them if they will not fit. I am not close enough to perform a test fit.... Please chime in. Thanks

You will rub if you run standard sized tires (285/25).

I run HRE 20x10.5 +32 on the rear with a mildly stretched tire (265/30), and the fender needed a roll and slight pull.

You could probably get away with that offset with a 245/255 tire + roll/pull...but stretch tires aren't for everyone. Also depends on what camber you're running.

Those fronts will fit fine. I run a 20x9.5 +18 front

Thanks Tbone... I am more concerned with the inner part of the wheel touching. Is that a problem? If i get a spacer, i think the wheel will stick out. I cant have that since my car is lowered.

A +27 will stick out past the fender as is, which is why I said you will need to run a stretch tire if you want that rim. I'm not sure if you will rub on the inside.

You should have enough clearance on the inner part, but you will be beyond fender on the outside by about 18mm or a 3/4".

might be close. Rear caliper is much smaller. On my +32, there is still some space between the wheel face and caliper
