Anyone running 235/35/19 up front with spacers?

JunkyardDogg · 11-28-2019, 11:08 PM

What size and is there any rubbing? I currently run them on Eibach Pro Kit drop with 12mm spacers on 225M style wheels lci and they rub when I turn the wheel right when reversing. It's starting to annoy me that i'm thinking of either going with smaller spacers or getting rid of them.

245/35/19 on 19x9 +29 wheels...however that translates to 225M + spacer. Only rubbed in reverse with the steering locked all the way to the left, and it was on the cooler vent cover on the right side wheel well liner. Front MSport suspension lowered about 10-12mm via strut locating tab trimming.

Yeah, I have 12mm up front but want to get rid of the rubbing when reversing and turning the wheel. I wanna know if someone is running the same setup with 10mm up front. I'll be pissed if I swap in the 10mm and it still rubs lol

You'll first have to identify what it's rubbing on. If it's on the front of the wheel well liner, you might be able to take a heat gun to it and push that area in and away from the tire.

Is it the left, or right, tire that's rubbing?

Your front wheel + 12mm spacer combo effectively = 18x8 +25, with a 10mm spacer it becomes an 18x8 with an ET of +27.

Another issue to consider is that no 2 cars are the same. Someone else with an e9x and the same wheel/tire/suspension combo may not rub, while yours may. Is your alignment in check? Bushings tight? Tire brand/model also matters, an x 235/35/19 won't be the same as a y 235/35/19...

All that said, the fitment game is rarely a do once and forget it type of thing when you're trying to maximize it without rubbing. Buy 10mm spacers, try them, if they don't work sell them and recoup most of your money...but, before you do, research 10mm spacers on our cars, start here;

And here's a really dandy wheel and tire size and offset calculator. The link includes a comparison between mine and your current, effective spec. All in all, it shouldn't rub, although you're probably about .5" lower than me.

Thanks, it only rubs on the left side when i'm reversing out and turning steering wheel to the left. I need to find out what it's rubbing on. I'm on continental DWS tires. I realize it's gonna be hard to find someone with the exact setup as mine, especially since i'm on prokits. But before I get the 10mm gonna see if I can tweak whatever its rubbing on first.

I have the exact same set up, 335is lowered on 225M + 12mm spacer in front with 235/35/19 MPSS tires.

Mine also rubs, but it happens so infrequently and only reversing that I don't have a problem living with it. Sorry if this doesn't help you.

I have seen some posts of people shaving the oil cooler/radiator vent bolts down and that helped.

Yeah, it doesn't happen a lot but still annoying. Maybe I can remove a few of the bolts.

BTW what size are you running in the rear? any rubbing there?

I have 12" also and no rubbing, but if I can go wider why not.

255/35/19, I sized up the sidewall. I'm running 20mm spacers and fitment is tight (less than one finger wheel gap) but I have my fenders rolled and no rubbing. Camber is close to stock 1.5-2*.

Im running those tires on the M313 rims and 18mm spacer and lowered with bc coilovers, no rubbing.

JunkyardDogg · 01-04-2020, 03:09 PM

Damn, maybe ill upgrade then and roll fenders if needed. That is, if I can get my old spacers off lol

A bit of rubbing at full lock. Running Bilstein B8s.
