modding the wheel wells
I have a 2007 pre lci e92 coupe and I splurged for the factory M3 359's 19", I also wrapped them in Michelin Super sport tires 245.35.19 front and 265.35.19 in the rear. I love the way they look but as the cliche saying goes, "form over function." Fronts rub the inner lining of the wheel well, which Im assuming is abs, (not sure I bought my baby August of last year) during almost any turning what so ever. The rears sit inside the well and clear the fender lips by about a fingers width but also rub the lining when ever the pavements elevation changes (i.e. dips, speed bumps). Has anyone have a solution? Is it possible to heat lining up and try to push out or cut the areas of the lining out at points of contact? I don't want to remove the lining completely and I don't want to put spacers on it which will then in turn cause me to have to roll the fenders for sure. Yes Im a noob when it comes to this stuff and this car is absolutely my love especially with the new skates your feedback will be welcomed from one enthusiast to another.

probably should've gone with a 235 section tire in the front (it'd be a little stretch) but rolled fenders should help out

Your front fenders are plastic, those can not be rolled. Narrower 235/35/19 front tyre would be your best solution. Also your rear tyre has wrong aspect ratio. It should be 265/30/19.
http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=839109 My rear inner fenders are partially cut out. About 10cm piece from outer edge and from the top. Rear inner fender is some kinda soft material. I wouldn't recommend any heating, because that probably will make the inner fender loose it rigidity.
