VMR VB3 - E46 M3 fitment

Just got these wheels, 19x9.5 et33 front, 19x10 et25 rear.

tires are 245/35/19 and 265/30/19

There is no rubbing up front at all, and some on the rear when I go over big bumps, going to get the rear fenders rolled

Since I put these wheels on the gap itself between the tire and the fender has increased, making the car look like it sits higher off the ground. I have the stock sports suspension and it sat perfectly with my old 19s.

So, my questions are: will i be able to lower it on these wheels? and why does the car appear to sit higher with this set?

That's a bit more aggressive than what we typically recommend for the E90s. If you are going to lower it, plan on adding some camber, if necessary. The fitment looks great as it is!

you think they'll fit if I lower it on coils? fenders aren't rolled yet and they only rub on the rears over large bumps

You might be fine. When you put the coils on, you'll get a bit of natural camber that will help out. If there is still rubbing, you can always roll your rear fenders or add some more camber.
