you're right, the wheels wouldn't work with the tires they come with (245/40, 265/40). but with appropriate non-m tire sizes there is no reason why they shouldn't work, with a fender roll of course.

I hope there are shops that can do it there. Everywhere here in the south they say-won't do it, or will do it, but not responsible if it damages the paint.

I also have looked at the lip in my e90. Doesn't seem to be a lip like my other cars |_|, it's just straight |. Fender liner right to it also. Will that have to be cut?

if your car is used your fenders might already have been rolled... my car is like that and the front has the lip you are talking about in some portions and other parts have been rolled. from what it looks like to me it was a bad rolling job that was done to mine.

You can run the 245/40 tires with no problem, but the rear needs to be swap to 265/35 and roll the fender.
