I don't know how to gauge the aggressiveness of the roll, but the guy who rolled them had to come back because he didn't roll far enough down the sides and there was a little bit of rubbing. No pulling or bulging was required.

If you look at the fender and the very top center is 12:00, I'd say that rolling from 10:00 to 2:00 should get the clearance you need.

Car was sitting crazy high but you get the point... +36F 9" wide" This is a 245/30 tire and more flexed than I care for.

I have 295x30 and 265x35 on my E-55. My next set will be 35 and 40 profile as I much prefer the old style high tire wall look and better ride also. I have temporarily put my SL55 wheels with 285x35 and 255x40 tires on the E and love the look.

Has anyone been on stock height with a 20x10 on 305s with out rolling? I'm waiting for my wheels to be made and I'm trying to decide on 295/30 or 305/30 possibly 305/25.

Hey there.
New member here yesterday. Look forward being involved in he forum!
I have Toyo T1R 295/30/20 s on mine with no rub. Its snug in sport 2 but, still fine and looks much nicer IMO than the 295/25's I had on for a week. Not into the rubberband look

Im bringing this thread back to life because you guys all know your stuff and are on track for the look I want.
Im currently looking at a set of 20x9 Front and 20x10.5 Rear. The good thing is they are made to order and I can get any offset I want.
So that being said, I have a stock E63 Wagon and I want to go as aggressive as possible with out messing with lowering or fender rolls.
I don't want rubber band tires so 30 side wall would be best. I want everything to sit slightly past flush because I don't want a tucked look.
I know, I know, tall order but you guys are the group that from what I have read know the most about the look I want.
Soooo pleeeeaaassssseeee help a botha out.
