ok...I dremeled down those plastic tabs and I'm still getting a bit of rubbing on the fenders themselves...I scheduled an alignment for monday to have the camber adjusted. I don't want to run more than between -1 and -1.5 so if I still rub after that I will roll the fenders. I will keep you updated! If anyone else has ventured with a 235/35/19 in front, any advice is welcome!

There has been plenty of support for you, so I'll go out on a limb and be the first to say nicely that your taste and mine are different. I'm just not big on black wheels, but the black lip just kills it further to me. I would have gone with white or polished lips myself. The silver polka dots (bolts) are not working for me because they just stick out like a sore thumb.

Kudos to you for fitting those wheels on there, and big props for putting some big money wheels on the car. I know that you will be able to take this with a a grain of salt, but since you were asking for honest feedback, I'll post & run hide behind the couch as I put on my flamesuit.

That looks very nice, although I would've gone for a 225 35 front on an 8 wide.

Do you have any idea about the offsets?

you should cut your fenders rather than rolling them which can make the fender bulge out a bit. it actaully looks really clean when done right.. i just watched my friend do it to a e90 today

Since it's not what you like, it's weak? And you are?

P.S. I need you to approve some spreadsheets for me ASAP. I would just send them on, but I need your approval, apparently. Hurry though, my deadline is 12:00 pm EST.

haha that retard is my roomy...we always give each other a hard time and he recently purchased a set of Iforged wheels.

UPDATE: I aligned my car this morning to -0.9 in the front and -2.0 in the rear. The scraping is very minimal now. I still need to dremel those plastic tabs a little more and that should take care of all the rubbing.

Can you take a pic of the tabs you are cutting? I am interested in seeing them. I know Larryn has said that cutting these pieces will help with the rubbing. Thanks!
