Anyone having issues running 245/35/19 with 20mm offsets in the front?

homeslice · 07-25-2006, 08:59 PM

Its like i can feel it hit/rub against something. Not all the time but most of the time. I hope im not going crazy lol. There will parts of the road where you can feel every crack but when i get to smooth roads i still feel like im going over a crack.

thats a low offset for the fronts!! Im running 245/35/19 with a 38 offset (19x8.5) and dont have any rubbing issues. You are probably rubbing with fender or inside fender

longtran · 07-25-2006, 11:50 PM

wow thats nuts. i had problem with 245 with 30 offset. my fender ate up my tires..

markE90 · 07-26-2006, 01:04 AM

maybe he meant 30 offset? I guess theres no way you can put a 20 mm offset on the front???

I think offset +20 will put your wheel pass the fender. I did try put my wheel: 20x8.5 Offset +43 with 15mm spacer at front, which make the offset: 43-15=28 (245/35/20 tires). The wheel is just almost out of the fender. Looks great though, very aggressive. but it's inpractical since it will rub even on small bumps and when turning (Eibach sport spring installed). I wonder how offset 20 will turn out.

I think you might bend the fender on big bumps.

Did you tried rolling your fenders? maybe that will help....

Welcome to E90post drake23.
Are you Indonesian as well?

34-38 offset is perfect

voltron1011 · 07-26-2006, 10:46 AM

+20 is the offset for the 5-series. This is way too drastic for the E90.

ksfrogman · 07-26-2006, 10:49 AM

Care to post some photos? I'm curious to see how that looks on your car.

Also, what's your wheel width?

28 offset with 235 35 19 tires is the magic number.

purity · 07-26-2006, 02:02 PM

Longtran, I agree with you regarding the magic number.
Now if we machine the wheel from offset 20mm to a depth of 8mm,so now we bring it to 28mm offset.Would it be dangerous?(wheel crack) etc

07-26-2006, 02:03 PM

28 yesssssssssssssssssss

my set up is 245/35/19 8.5 20mm offset for the fronts
255/35/19 9.5 20mm for the rear. I had to roll my fenders in the rear.

voltron1011 · 07-26-2006, 04:02 PM

Wow, those look really good... It looks like they'd only rub in turns. Do they rub driving straight?

07-26-2006, 04:20 PM

255/35 is to big for rear..thats why u had to roll fenders.. 255/30 is recommended

no rubbing when driving straight. Even at turns i dont feel rub. I do however think that the fronts are hitting some part of the suspension. I get this random vibration.

voltron1011 · 07-26-2006, 05:04 PM

Homeslice, maybe you should pull the rims off and see if you can find any evidence of rubbing.

homeslice · 07-26-2006, 05:58 PM

i might have to....i know for sure that the fronts are not right. Tempted just to replace the tires and go 235's and hope it takes care of it.

Pretender · 07-26-2006, 10:27 PM

Dude, i hate to tell you this, but your offsets are messed up. It's for 5 series. With 245/35 in front, offset will be 35mm-40mm. Mine is 40mm in front and it has ~3mm left to the strut side. I used to have 20mm in rear with 275/30 and it rubbed so much that I replaced with 39mm offset.

homeslice · 07-26-2006, 10:29 PM

Should i just get smaller tires in the front? Like 235's? My rears are fine now. I just think something is rubbing agaist the strut....not all the time...just randomly.
