I am seeking advice on rather the following set up on a E90 will require a fender roll. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

*Not really interested in having a debate between 19 and 20 inch wheels. Just curious on what everyone's thoughts are for the following set up.*

20x9 Front with 245/35 Tire

20x 10.5 Rear with 275/30 Tire

Also I am lowered on H&R Sport Springs.

Thanks in advance for the input!

Depending on the offsets they should fit fairly easy. You'll need to roll your fenders.

Both front and back?

What are the offsets? And is the front a 20x9 or 20x9.5? Your title says 9.5.

You'll more than likely need to roll the rear. Just make sure you have a shop picked out and ready to roll the fenders when you put the wheels on.

My apologies, the front are 20x9. And I am not sure of the offsets right now. Just inquired about them will update post once I know the exact offsets.

Theres not much to roll in the front, but it's not a bad idea to get it done.

You may be able to clear the front but the rear definitely needs to be rolled. I would do it all around to be on the safe side.

You should get your fenders rolled first with your stock wheels and then put the 20's on afterward. Because if you put the wheel's/tires on first they will rub and might damage your tires. Also consider getting the rear fenders trimmed instead of rolled. That's another alternative. I have rolled and trimmed many rear fenders and this is the best way.

sure a fender roll will help in the rear, but unless you are SLAMMED, you should be able to fit those without too much trouble.... of course depending on the offset

Newbie question: What is the difference between fender roll and fender trim

Thanks! I will more than likely roll the fenders at the same time i get the wheels put on.

Normally 245/30/20 is the tire size used for the front. The 35 series tire may be too tall and cause problems with the fender liner at full lock. IMO, you would be better off with 19"...

[zeenon53]

When you trim a fender you are actually removing material. Rolling you are just pushing the inner edge flush with the outer edge of the fender. You will just need a slight roll to clear 275. I've been through 2 sets of 275's already and when these wear i'm going 285.
