Factory wheels rubbing

Hey guys 2015 x5 m optioned. I took off the winter tires and trew back on the 20's that came with the x. Tires are the correct size and they are not rubbing. The rim is rubbing on the upper control arm. and its just a tiny bit and it's worse when i back up and turn to the left. Any ideas on this? I've had those rims on the truck for the past 5 years and no issues, all of a sudden this year rubbing. SMH trying to figure this out. Any help is appreciated.

...and you're absolutely, positively sure that you don't have the wheels mixed up since the rears are 11.5" wide and the fronts are 10" wide?

BTW...rubbing where..front or rear? Could it be a suspension issue? Do you have rear self leveling and a leaking pneumatic spring?

This sounds like wrong wheel placement and you have rear 611M wheel in the front.

Wait, all the rims are not the same size on the staggered 20's? Shit, never even checked that. I bet that's it I just picked up the tires from the tire shop. Thought all 4 rims were the same.

That's why they are staggered.

thanks for posting back with an update...glad its going to be an easy fix.

Ditto RED_Y ...a staggered set up usually means not only a different tire size front/rear...but the wheels will also be different widths...and usually have different offsets, too.
