20" Enkei Lusso on 2006 BMW 325i

jdhil90 · 08-13-2011, 02:15 AM

I just got these put on today. I really like the cosmetic look of it. I think I need to roll the fenders because the rear tires rub over bumps, usually when there's a few people in the car. Not 100% sure whether they rub on the inside or on the fender but I think it's the fender.

Falken FK452 235/30/20 and 285/25/20 tires.
18mm spacers on rear.

I think if I take out the spacers the tires will rub on the struts (inside). That's what I was told by a rep at Tire Rack. I'm going to roll the fenders sometime this week and if that doesn't work then next try will be to take out the spacers. Is there anything else I can do that might help? What's a camber adjustment do?

I doubt you'll rub on the strut side without the spacers.

I'm going to be removing the spacers tomorrow and just hope that they don't rub the struts.

Spacers removed and PROBLEM SOLVED! phew, I was hoping that they weren't going to rub on the inside. Now I can take turns harder without worrying about a bump in the road.

FYI removing the spacers was a B****. I had to use WD40 and a lot of prying with the crowbar end of a hammer and the first hammer I had snapped in half...turns out it was wooden inside while it looked like metal on the outside.

Yo what website did u get your wheels from. i have the same car. and your car looks hard with the wheels.

jdhil90 · 12-17-2011, 05:37 AM

I got the wheels from tirerack.com but the tires from online tires.com

E90so · 02-02-2012, 08:06 PM

Those wheels look sweet; I'm thinking about going with this same setup. I noticed on Tire Rack that the front tires they recommend are 245. What made you decide to go with the 235?
