H&R Touring Cup Problem

Hi guys…I just installed a H&R Touring Cup suspension kit on my 2006 325i. The drop is awesome but I'm having rubbing issues in the front of the vehicle. The rub comes every time I take every single imperfection on the road…it's not rubbing against the fender but instead it's hitting the inner liner. Is this normal?? I'm running 19" Avant Garde M510 with 245/35. Is this one of the compromises of having this kind of drop? Please advise!

19s wont work..

I had that setup on my old 328 but I had 18s on
offset was 30 front and 25 in rear
tires: 225/40/18 front
255/35/18 back.

With that setup I had very little space between the tire and the fender. I know that 19s would have rubbed.

Was that on LCI or Pre-Lci?

What were your exact wheel specs front and back?

I'm curious, because I ordered 235/40/18/255/35/18 with 9.5 et33 Front and 9.5 et22 rear. With the touring cup. Wondering if I would have issues.

Unfortunately I don't have a side pic but this is what it looked like on 18s with the offset I stated above and lowered on H&R. As you can tell there is not much gap left between the tire and fender.

8.5 or 9.5 in the front?
I'm assuming 9.5 rear with et25, any problems there?
