that's called rolling the fenders, they make a tool for it, if you go on any local car forums you might be able to find someone willing to let you borrow one

To me it looks like your tire is to tall. I have a 225/60R16 on mine and i am not lowered and my tire is tucked in the fender also but no rub.

Drop looks good! Correct offset is key when fitting wheels. I run 18's with 225/45R18 tires with hr sport springs and I don't have any rubbing issues at all. But my wheels have an ET35 offset, and I run 10mm spacers in the rear.

alright one more question, not looking to fight this time either haha, its nbd. without getting new wheels and all and the offset on the Styling 5 e34 wheels i have on is different (sit out farther) then the ti wheels. after i get an alignment, which may correct the rubbing a slight bit because the back wheel are toed this was / --- \ pnegative camber . any suggestions... im lost here as you may have noticed from earlier in the thread. so im open help. if possible. ive heard about it but thats about ti. thanks.

If the back wheels are have positive camber when you get new tires get some 215/55/15 or 50 all around and you should be good, to me it looks you are using the wheel setup right off the e34 with tired for the e34 too
