19x11 ET25 with 275 tires on 2008 328i e93 with eibach Pro???

smoOve · 10-25-2014, 02:00 PM

Been looking and looking and looking and can't seem to find anything legit.

I just bought a set of wheels the numbers are 19x9.5 ET22 in front & 19x11 ET25 in rear. I have the Eibach pro kit lowering springs on my car and was wondering if I can throw a 275/30-19 on the rears with some fender work. I don't mind rolling and pulling them I just want to make sure it'll be fine with a roll and pull. I want the minimal scraping/rubbing as possible. A little bit never hurt anybody as I am used to it with my previous cars. I really also want to make sure it'll be okay with just lowering springs and not having coilsovers as of right now. Yes coilovers are in the future but not at this moment. Would I need anything else to make it work?
Camber arms maybe?

Please let me know guys. If you've done it or have a set up close to it feel free to give your insight on it.

I know most guys run 265s on the rear but I really don't want that stretch look. I want the more beefier look.

Thanks guys/ladies.

How much did you lower? I have 19.5 rears with 275/30-19 Michelin Pilot super sports on stock sport suspension with no issues. I'm planning on lowering read an inch or so and still anticipate no issues.

smoOve · 10-25-2014, 07:54 PM

It lowered me a pretty decent amount probably 1.5" in the rear and maybe 1.2 in the front + I got the top hats to make it lower. I will post pics of how it sits now. I'm also hoping that it won't be a lot of wheel gap. I have 18x9 in the rear with 10mm spacers. With a little wheel gap I'm hoping maybe with the 19s it'll close up the gap a little more? Not sure if that's how it works or not lol

I have an e90 but my setup is

9.5et22 245/35/19 -1.8 degrees camber
11"et28 275/30/19 -1.9 degrees camber

The front is a very tight fit and I wouldn't recommend it with the same size tire but I haven't had any issues. My front fender lip was flattened by a body shop and I sanded a little bit near the bumper. The e93 has plastic fenders so you definitely need to be more careful.

The rear is also a tight fit I only rub at full compression and its nothing I pay attention to. My rear fenders were rolled then I sanded down about 5-6 inches of the rear fender near the bumper.

smoOve · 10-26-2014, 12:49 PM

Are the e90 fenders a little wider also? I see most people put a 235/35 In the front. Like you said, they said a 245 would be a very tight fit. Plus i am pretty low in the front on springs I don't have coils so I can't stiffen the ride. So that's probably what id go with in the front a 235. Most e92/3 put 265s in the rear but I want as least stretch as possible that'll fit with a little fender work and TLC. I also want it to fill the gap more which is why I want a 275. Idk if it works that way though. Will it will the gap more? Or just make my car sit higher?

There are some pictures of my setup on this page
http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...=996697&page=3

E90 has just a little more clearance in the rear than an e92/e93 I think it is only a few mm though. I don't think I have a mm to spare up front.

smoOve · 10-26-2014, 07:57 PM

Perfect! Thanks!!!! I'm a little worried about it scraping a lot since I don't have coils to stiffen the ride. You think I would be able to run them without camber arms or stuff like that?

In the rear there is still a lot of adjustment on the camber, I had the camber adjusted so the wheels fit the way I wanted then I made it work from there. Honestly I'm not sure what I would do in your situation either, your offset is 3mm lower and you have a few mm less clearance. Maybe more negative camber and shaved fenders will make up for it. 265 is definitely the safer choice but I know you want the widest tire possible.

smoOve · 10-27-2014, 07:42 AM

Yea man damn I'm really not trying to go with a 265 :/. I guess if I have to then I will. But like I said I don't mind doing some inside fender work. Thanks for all the help man! And great looking setup you got! I will be posting pics to show how low my car is maybe that'll help a little more. Do you by any chance know if with a 19" wheel and possibly the 275 it'll fill in the wheel we'll more or just lift up the car more and keep the same gap?

Here is an e92 with the same fitment he claims a 275 will work. A 275 would definitely make it look like a tighter fit.

Thanks so much! You've been a really big help!!

Fundguy1 · 10-27-2014, 12:28 PM

I have different rim width and offset but if you get the tire in the right spot with the correct offset, which I don't know, they should fit. I have 275 michelins which run wide and they fit no problems.

smoOve · 10-27-2014, 12:49 PM

Cool! Thanks! This gives me more hope! Lol

smoOve · 10-28-2014, 10:50 AM

Anybody else have any info for me?

smoOve · 11-16-2014, 06:39 PM

Sorry been awhile but this is how she sits with the eibach pro.. I will take some day time pics tomorrow to see better. But I'm hoping to be able to fit the 275s and filling in the gap in the rear more. Also should I get camber arms for the rear? Or adjustable toe arms? Or both? Lol

bmw325i · 11-17-2014, 08:00 AM

Front camber plates would be useful.

JaysBlueE92 · 11-17-2014, 10:39 AM

265 on an 11 isnt crazy stretch..doesn't look like you are too low on the eibachs

smoOve · 11-17-2014, 12:56 PM

I've seen a few that looks like a good amount of stretch and some that doesn't... Maybe it's the tire they have on it? Or the offset of the wheel? I guess a big thing to me is filling in the wheel gap more..
