I know a guy that has the AC Schnitzer springs with 20" HRE wheels, and no rub or scrapping. He know has 21" and I think he will be safe.

Sam did the installed for me 2 months ago. The ride of ACS spring is much better than H&R. Both ACS and H&R are stiffer than stock. H&R is much more bouncy, especially during turning. Very happy with the ACS spring. The ACS has a slightly lower in the back comparing H&R.

Highly recommend ACS spring.

I have H&R's on my car right now and they are too stiff for my taste. I've had a positive experience with ACS springs on my 550 so this week I'm going to swap on my M5. Btw, I hated the H&R springs on my M3 as well. Seems like they were made only for the track.
