help with 219 fitment

looking for some advice...

I picked up a set of 219m with with ps2 rft tires (225/18/40 front 255/18/35 rear)and i like how it the back sits right now, but the rears are too aggressive. I already have a have a new set of bilstein shocks, struts and eibach pros ready to get installed.

What do you guys think... will the drop with eibachs be too much? I had a set of 4 oem 17 wheels mounted with with blizzaks in my back seat and i had no rubbing issues so i know i can go a little bit lower. I want to avoid messing with a fender roll and camber after suspension install however.

Should i go coilover route instead to get rid of the front rake and add a 1/4 inch drop on the rears?

Thanks..

I know this is way old, but I want to put the same wheels on my 2011 e90 335 xdrive. I'm pretty sure its the same as your car. So in your pictures, are you on the standard xi suspension? No spacers needed for mounting right? Did you get any rubbing in the rear?

Thanks
