New wheels and tirst rubbing when hitting dips! Plz advise!

farzadkavari · 08-17-2013, 09:30 PM

Hello, today I just got done installing brand new 19" wheels AND tires (235/35/19 and 265/30/19) on 335i Coupe (sport package). I was told that 15mm rear and 12 front would be ok but when I hit some road bumps or dips the rear rubs a bit. Under normal driving conditions its fine. I installed 12 mm BMS spacers for the front. If I switch the 12 mm in the rear should it resolve my rubbing issue when hitting road dips? (Stock fender and suspension)

Without wheel sizes and offsets nobody will be able to answer your question.

I have 19" oem 230 rims (37 offset front and 39 offset rear) with 12mm spacer on front and 15mm spacer on rear and yes, it will rub on dips. Eventually you will wear down your tire or fender and the rubbing won't be so apparent, but you're probs better off with 10 front and 12 rear.
