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.
