Any rubbing issues?!

Hi guys,

Need to know if I will be ok on my H&R lowered e91 pre-LCI with these specs:

19" Front:et38 width 8.5"
Rear:et27 width 9.5"

Tyres will be:
Front:235 / 35 / 19
Rear: 265 / 30 / 19

Thanks in advance!

my researching suggests you will be super tight on ET27 with a 265 profile, will come down to the tyre profile if its going to rub or not.

stick up a post in the wheels and tyres section of E90 post, loads of people with experience state-side that will have no doubt tried that combo.

The rears on my summer set up is relatively similar the spec you said, apart from they are in 18s. I do get a little bit of rubbing on uneven surface at motorway speed. I think the shape of the sidewall may also have an impact.

But there are space under the arch still, for sure!

Not csl's .Standard 19" s. 255 would make difference but 9/5 rear wheels should be wrapped with 265 rubber
Buy 359m from Chris and you sorted.

I've got a e91 lci on h&r with 8.5j et38 235/35/19 on the front and 9.5j et27 rear 255/30/19. No rubbing at all even with the car loaded.
Mines seems like I can go wider at the rear
