I doubt I can use bigger tires, as Booster did. I guess the explanation is that my car sits lower and/or I drive it too hard. I must admit that driving "normally", there was no rub at all. I'll try to post detailed pictures of where it rubbed.

Cheers.
I installed my Competition wheels on my wifes X1 and have no rubbing issues at all so it has to be because you are lowered? I also think my tire sizes are larger than what you have...need to check it out and post up. See my post from yesterday.
