Square 235/40/18

Bjr888 · 05-14-2017, 03:57 PM

Hello everyone. I'm getting new rims/tires or my 08 135i. Just installed TCK SA coilovers with around -2* of camber. Considering VMR v701 in 18x8.5 et 45 with 235/40/18 tires. Anyone experienced in running this setup? Any rub issues? Are spacers needed to eliminate rub? Help would be greatly appreciated...looking to order today and all the experts are closed lol.

I don't have coilovers or camber, just msport suspension.
My wheels are 18x8.5 et 43 and I use 235/40 tires. Didn't have any issues, the tires were not the PSS with wider shoulders.

If you set it up to be low then the rear will could have problem at the fender liner or lip.
In the front the camber solves one problem for fender clearance. The next issue for coilovers that is usually found for 245/35 tires, which is the clearance with the bottom spring perch/adjuster & shock body.
