No, but you should really run 285 /25 in the back.

285/25 is nice but not much rubber there.

/30 looks suv status in the back and rubs if lowered. Ive had 285/25/20 in the back before without issue. I have 295/30/19 on now for winter and rub with rolled fenders.

I had that tire set up before. It was fine, I actually liked the extra cushioning in the rear but it made the rear end sit a little high.

Here's mine on 255/35/20 and 295/30/20 , no rubbing.
I know some prefer a lower profile and lower ride height. I used to like that also but now fancy a little more sidewall and less worries about bumps and road debris. This is a driver, were it a showcar I'd do the slammed on slims look.

Thanks!( I love the white w E63 front btw)It's lowered with STAR and no quarter panel/ wheelhouse modifications. Its not really lowered that much, the gap is taken up by the tire so it looks low. I have very little clearance concerns when navigating the jacked up streets around here, even with the CF lip on the front hanging down.
The wheels are 20x10 ET39.
I'm going to do a built engine/Weistec blower combo this spring and either put it in this car or an SL. If I do this car Im going to do some wheelhouse surgery and fit 20x11s with 315/30/20 on the back for traction. Can't wait!
