will my wheels rub!?

Speedle · 08-14-2011, 08:21 PM

sorry im a bit confused, so i have the OEM bMW sports suspension which is lowered OEM .06" and i am getting the H&R Race Spring Set, will i RUB? my fenders are not rolled nor pulled right not, and want to keep it that way.

h&R race springs, http://www.tirerack.com/suspension/s...=Sport+Package :
Front and Rear fitment
Ride Height: Extreme Lowering
Avg Low 2.0"F 1.5"R

So will that lower my car in the font 2" or 2-.6=1.4"? and the rear 1.5" or 1.5-.6"?

i have a 2006 bmw 330i sports package, on authentic m6 wheels
front: 225/35/19 they are 8.5 ET: 12
rear: 265/30/19 they are 9.5 ET: 17

anyone?

Yes your car will rub. I have the same set up as you except my offset is 21 for the rear. It rubs on every small bump.

And you did mean 9.5 and not 9.8 right?

with those offsets and tire sizes, you'll pretty much rub on any lowering spring (except maybe eibach prokits cuz those are pretty much stock lol)

You are going to rub like crazy, the fronts will rub in the wheel well, you need to remove the upper bumper bracket, or replace the bolt with a rivit.

The rear, you need a fender roll and camber to fit - without a fender roll - it will rub when you drive. in any direction. or speed. a 245/35 rear tire would also help clear the fender.

thanks for your feedback guys, so here is an update...

i got coilovers installed last week (had my mechanic readjust my coilovers 5 times in the rear because of rubbing on the m6 wheels) i drove off from the shop with minimal rubbing, my front coilovers are maxed out on lowering and the rear is up a little! still with no wheels gap. i had to go home and put on my 162s stockies to make the car drivable about rubbing!

this upcoming Thursday, i am having my fenders rolled

also going back to my mechanic so he can dial in some negative camber in the rear! if that does not work and i still have rubbing i will either raise it a little bit in the rear or get 245 wide tires in the rear.
