Will 265 rear rub on B12 kit?

aritala · 04-07-2016, 09:22 PM

I have an 08 135i and I recently installed a B12 kit with Eibach lowering springs which drop the car about an inch all around. I also installed a JB4, DP and full M3 suspension upgrade (rear subframe bushings, control arms, guide rods). I am on a stock tire set up and want to know if i installed 265 on the rears if that would rub and require a fender roll. Also, I would have to go 245 on the front so would I have to roll those fenders as well?

I am planning on going with Pilot Super sport tires and APEX EC-7 18x8.5" ET45 Satin Black Wheel o front and Apex 18x.9.5 on the rear.

Also, what sidewall spec should I go for for front and rear with the 265/245 set up?

I have that exact setup now! B12 Pro kit, EC-7's in that exact setup and I am running 225/40, 265/35 Michelin PSS.. Absolutely zero issues!

I could of probably ran a 235/40 in front but with a 3mm spacer. I think I will do that when these tires go (long time to go lol) but overall I am extremely happy with the setup and the grip and traction and everything!!
I did ZERO fender work

Wow what are they odds lol. Thanks for chiming in that's extremely helpful. Do you have any rubbing when the car is packed or on road dips??

None at all! On certain steep dips or incline "drive way" entrances, I have to go at a slight angle to not scrape under the front bumper (like aggressive inclines or dips) and if you try to tackle them going straight you will scrape or too fast.. Other than that I have yet to ever rub
