Some Advice Please Guys. Rubbing badly

mark325 · 02-11-2010, 07:46 AM

So Ive got an E90 325i, Sitting on H&R Euro Spec Race.

VMR V710's 19x8.5 and 19x9.5's, 35 and 33 offset respectively.

Im running a KU31 235/35/19 on the front and a 275/30/19 on the rear.

The rub is fairly severe to the point i rolled down the road and back and took them off. Does anyone think a very aggressive roll is going to solve this, Changing to a 265 instead or am I going to have to have these offsets machined. The fronts fit perfectly, Its just the rears I am having dramas with.

Cheers,

strange you are rubbing on a e90 with ET33 back, do a fender roll otherwise you need 265

Cheers,

Your issue is the H&R Euro Race springs. We had ET32 in the back with a 9.5" on 275.30.19 with H&R Race and it rubbed bad. Your solution is either a set of 265.30.19 or a slight fender roll.

Hope this helps.

Rolling fenders and 265 tires might help in the short run, but once you have multiple passengers, a near-full tank of gas, and/or go over dips on the road, you'll be back in rubbing land, because of your springs. Either change back to stock springs or switch to coil overs so you can have the appropriate height in the rear.

Have had a full 5-passenger on the setup above with no rubbing.

You'll need to roll the fenders or change to 265/30.

I've had 265/30 on 19x9.5 ET32 dropped on KW coils without any rubbing.
