Question Will an xDrive LCI with ET35 19x9.5 rear + H&R Sport rub?

Thinking about lowering my car since the wheel gap is ridiculous.

H&R Sport springs are most likely what I'm going to do since it does not lower the car an insane amount.

As we all know, Canada gets a S*** load amout of snow. I do need a bit of clearance so I dont bottom out on unplowed streets.

Wheel retailers were saying that if i lower my xDrive LCI and have ET35 19x9.5 rear rims it may rub.

Any one with this set up?

Thanks!

Thanks for your help!

I have BBS CH wheels, with 18x10 et40s on the rear of my LCI touring, and 265/35 Conti DW tires. No rubbing, but I'm at stock ride height. Even with a moderate drop, I'm pretty sure there would no problem. There's a 1mm difference between your set-up and mine.

No not at all. Perhaps with it 12 people in the back seat you might rub on the fender liner.

That's super nice! Perfect drop


Are your rear rims ET35?

Thanks. et 35 all around. I will preface by saying I am dropped on Eibach's and there is still plenty of room. The only rubbing risk might be your fender liner if your H&R's lowered your car a lot more than mine.

Perfect! I ordered mine 35 allround as well.
H&R Sport springs: Front 1.3", Rear 1.2"
Eibach Pro: Front 1.2", Rear 1.0"

Probably gonna do the Eibach's pros instead since its not as much of a drop compared to the H&R. But xDrive's are gay. Front's sit up higher

Now i need the correct part #
