Stock sizes but my tires are wider than the equivalent size of other brands.

It's true, i have. Perhaps it might be because the Yokohama AD08's i have run wider than other tires though...

An example of what that small plastic protrusion of the wheel well has done to my tires:

Yikes!

Im going to run 5mm all around...im rubbing in the rear with my RS3s

see ;-) this may well be fine on certain z4ms that dont get used properly BUT any car thats driven properly as the OP does on his mountain drives you WILL get problems as per my orginal recommendation...... any rubbing is imo unexceptable on any performance vehicle, hence i would much rather run a more conservative offset, sacrifice alittle looks and have a setup that will allow me to drive my car how it was designed to be used :-)

I just got a heat gun and i'll attempt to smooth out that small protrusion in the hope the rubbing stops.. I wont know until i have fresh rubber though but seeing how they are now that won't be too far away!! Love the AD08's by the way. Amazing grip.
