Guys, I need some advice and info., if it would be safe to run 5mm spacers for my rear without rolling my fenders and without rubbing. Im currently dropped on H&R Race springs, I believe its almost a 2'' drop in the front and 1.75'' drop in the rear, not sure?

Here are my wheel specs and info.


Front Tires: Falken FK452 235/35
Rear Tires: Falken FK452 265/30


Front Wheels: 19x8.5, 5x120 +30mm offset
Rear Wheels: 19x10, 5x120 +37mm offset

Thanks,

Im not 100% sure, but from what i've gathered, the E90 LCI rear offset is really similar to the E92's. On my LCI, im running 19x10 +33 with a 265/30/19 tire and no rubbing at all. Im slammed also.

I see, but my rear is also 19x10 but +37

if i'm right, i think +37 have a lesser chance on rubbing compared to +33
so if 1clean335i is not rubbing with +33 then your +37 definitely won't rub

I'm running the same setup just with F1 Asymmetrics and kw2's. It rubs over bumps and during corners with anyone in the back seat. Occasionally I hear it rub a bit accelerating out of a hard corner.

Rolling the fenders would solve it. Rarely have people in the back, so I haven't got around to it.

you should be okay if it does rub just roll fenders.

On a coupe, with 19x10 wheel and 5mm spacers in the rear, I think you will rub. I run 10mm spacers with same wheel and tire size in the rear of my sedan, and had to roll the rears. If you're lowered, the 19x8.5 +30 in the front may rub as well. I have the same wheel/tire size up front and had to do some fender work up front, too.

should be good

Thanks,

That would work with H&R sports springs but I don't know about H&R race springs. Damn your bumper must be like almost touching the ground and I thought I was low with my H&R sports.

You may be ok since you are running Falkens but I cant guarantee it... Depending on your alignment and suspension, rubbing may occur during compression or large bumps. Nothing a slight fender roll cant fix though.

Oh I see, Im clueless about offsets and etc, I just mention +37 because I thought thought that he was the same rear size as me. But I get it now. thanx man.

I see, but theirs no way my front will fit with spacers, because I rub sometimes
