madxkilla · 01-08-2011, 03:00 AM

Hello I have VMRV715 Cross Spoke Wheels - Matte Black w/ Polished Stainless Lip -BMW Fitment (5x120, ET30) - 19x9.5 with KUMHO ECSTA SPT265/30/19
in the back of my stock e92 but for some reason the wheels rub the fender constantly on minor bumps and cant even go up a decently sized hill..any reason why I am having trouble with rubbing?

Is your car lowered? If so how much? That might be why you're rubbing. I figured ET30 offsets in the rear should be fine either way. Just get rear fenders rolled and problem solved.

I'm not a fender roller expert, but I think they have to heat up the paint first to kind of soften it so it won't crack. If you just roll without heating the paint it will crack, whether summer, winter, fall, or springs. But once again this is from what I read from Eastwood.

OP,

Have you double checked your alignment? 265 Kumho's are a fairly square side wall tire and could have some very slight rubbing depending on the alignement of your vehicle.

This is true, when I had mine done on my previous E90 he used a heat gun to warm up the area really nice before rolling.

When I had 265 Kumhos I had some rubbing too with a 30 offset, and that was on an E90, but lowered.
