I recently threw a 12 mm spacer up front with my 19x8.5 +35 falken fk452s and I started rubbing crazy on dips and whatnot. It seems like its constantly rubbing on the fender liner when I go through dips and I can't seem to fix it

so right now 19x8.5 + 23 doesn't seem to be working. Any suggestions on what size spacer I should move down to? 10mm (+25)? 8mm(+27)?

Car is lowered on h&r sport and no camber adjustments.

I would either recommend trimming the fender liner with a dremel or purchasing a 5mm spacer to replace it. With +30, you'll be able to achieve a pretty flush fitment without having issues.

Thanks for the reply, I'll give the dremel a shot first. Do you think a 8mm or even a 10mm will work? 5mm is still too tucked for my liking

same problem that I have last month.. if you want to keep your 12mm spacer, put 225/30/19 then it wouldn't rub.

Any of those sizes can work. This all will depend on how much elbow grease and modifications you are willing to do with the car. The larger the spacer, the more shaving or rolling will be required.

great, that's the answer that I'm looking for. is it flush enough at 19x8.5 ET25? any pics?

[rothwem]

Dude, if you wanna be hella flush you gotta sacrifice. Just buy new tires and fender liners every 5k miles.

i was actually going to go the same set up too.. but im goin for the stretched look on a 19x8.5 +32 with a 15mm spacer and 205 stretched... we'll see how it goes...

Exactly, Im at +30 and no rubbing at all.

[Robmaster]

are the E90 smaller at the front fender than the E92?

because i have 19x8.5 ET20 with 225/35/19 lowred on Bilstein colis and i dont have any rubbing issues...

you have 225s, of course no issues. We're talking 235s here.

[Gavin@MMW]

Im running a 19x9.5 et 22 up front, and i rub. LOL

i cant find a 225/35 that will stretch over a 9.5" yet, ive gone through 3 sets already working on it.

currently im running a 235/35/19 on it but need more clearance. im also dropped 2"

[cstavaru]

I for one would never touch my car's bodywork to make room for wheels. Wheels come and go, but if you trim your fender liners that can't be undone without spending major money.

Just choose the correct offsets/spacers...my opinion.

Go with some Toyos. They stretch really well. I will be going with the same setup for my fronts in a week.

pics of your current setup?

[kol]

FRONT: no fender mods upfront and -1.2 camber, lowered to H&R sport height.

I've had 255/35/18 on 18x8.5 +35 no rubbing issues...

and 235/40/18 on 18x8.5 +26 no rubbing issues...

8.5" wheel with a 235 tire will not stretch. This will be perfectly square and will cause rubbing issues with a 8.5 +20 wheel.

Any tire will stretch a 225/35 on a 9.5. However, you might need a cheetah to get the job done...a lot of tire shops have them, you just have to ask.

How do the h&r sport make the appearence of the car, reason why im asking is because im thinking about getting the same springs and I want to make sure that there will not be any gap between the fenders on my 335i. I will also be getting 19 by 8.5 front and rear 19 by 10. What do you think? I just do not want a gap, and want to have somewhat of a ride left.
