E92 pre lci
I'm gonna get some Varrstoen wheels soon, 19x9.5F 20et 19×11R 22et. Plan on lowering the car on BC coils .5 in the rear maybe 2" in the front to balance out the uneven look from the factory. I've decided to go with 235/35F and 265/30R. My question is whether those are the largest size tires I can go with for that drop and wheel specs? I would ultimately prefer to go up to 245/275 because I'm not a fan of stretched tires, but I've been told it will rub like crazy. I'm actually fine with the stock height in the rear and I can leave it like that and only drop the front if I have to to make these fit. I'm also comfortable running upwards of 2 degrees of negative camber front and rear if I have to along with shaving/rolling/pulling fenders for added clearance. So can I fit 245/275? If not which tire brand has the firmest sidewall to choose from that can be stretched to fit those widths? |

if youre not a fan of stretched tires and just want a 245-275/285, just run a 10 +38. no fuss no rub and "traction" all day even holidays. but no stance points for you lol

But I wants stance points!! Lmao. It's not a huge deal for me. I came from a G35 coupe and it was a lot easier to fit wide wheels and beefy tires. I will do the recommended sizes if I have to. Plus more stretch equals more loww which is never a bad thing in the looks department.

Yep, my camber is in specifications, I m not sure what you mean by 7 series wheels, I have BBS LM-R. But nonetheless 275/30 will be too much for what you're asking stick with 265/30.

if you're going forward with it, stick with 235/265. i would even say 225 in the front. i have the same wheel specs and had a lot of rubbing problems on KW V2 because it was too soft. i'm on BC coils now and it helped. just got my car aligned today and now i'm almost rub free. the key is 0 toe in the back with max camber (mine maxed at -2.8). i was aligned to -3 rear camber with stock toe on the KWs and my right rear especially rubbed like crazy over any significant dip or bump. my front had major rubbing issues where the fender mounts to the bumper, but the E92 might be different since the fender is plastic. i increased front camber to -2.5 and now theres no more rubbing, but it looks too tucked in. might play with spacers to get it to look better. E92 body is supposed to be a bit narrower too, so YMMV.

I'm no stranger to stance. I came from a stanced G35 coupe and had wheels with similar specs as far as width and diameter and I was running 225 and 255 respectively. Along with BC coils and 3.5 degrees of neg camber all around. The stretch wasn't an issue then because the G albeit a sexy beast is a fat, slow cow! Lol. So power mods were out the window in the pursuit of low and slow since that best suited that cars design. Just trying to find a happy medium since I now have a car that I can actually make fast without sinking 10-15K bucks into it and I can make it sexy too. 235/265 isn't that bad at all but I know with the stretch and negative camber my power goals may go by the waist side. Thanks to everyone for their inputs, I truly appreciate it. Sorry for the thread jack guys. |
