I read somewhere that the H&R's indeed make it worse (not sure if it was the same wheel/tire size though.) A couple people have gone with the same springs and Koni yellows on a medium setting with good results.

Obviously I'd like to do that first before rolling. I just don't want to install the springs now, and then be forced to get the shocks imediatley becasue of horrendus rubbing.

true. I'm also trying to find someone that can do fender rolling. I'm not planning to lower the car at the moment. I'm content with the wheel gap that I have now. The bigger tires kinda fill the wheel gap too. I've heard good things about the Konis though.

As for size fitment, I had 4 people in the car a few days ago for an hour long trip and I only had rubbing issues on big bumps on the freeway. Otherwise my passengers said the ride was pretty comfy. I'd like to get tge fenders rolled at some point but it's not urgent.

I hope this update helps, lemme know if you have any questions

Do you know if its rubbing on the front or back / both?? Is it from inside or outside of the wheel (any marks?)?

Best Regards

Looks good. I've been running 235/40 and 255/35 star specs for 2 seasons of autox with no rubbing on stock rims and suspension

I can't pinpoint the location of the rubbing, but I suspect it to be towards the outside on the rears. There are no marks or anything which is why its also hard for me to tell where its exactly rubbing. Like I said before though, It's not that serious. Just dont go into a dip at like 100mph and it wont rub.

When you throw the car into a turn do you feel the wheel move at all within the tire? Sometimes if you go with a really wide tire on a smaller diameter wheel then you may get that feeling. Looks sick!

Shoot I wanted to change to the Dunlop 235/265 next tie on mt Breytons which I think are the exact same size and offset as stock rims, but not sure. I know the diameter and width are the same. I am still stock suspension but htinking of doing camber plates soon.

They are within a few millimeters of stock offset (close enough to be used as stock wheels for SCCA purposes).

ummm, nope, I can see how that may happen though if maybe they're underinflated. I kept mine at the stock pressure of 36psi all around

Yeah, that is true. I had a friend that put too wide a tire width and sidewall height on his 350Z wheels and when you had a the car loaded into a turn the sidewalls would flex as the wheel moved side to side within the wheel. That's good to know though because they look meaty on your ride and I may do the same size or possibly down to a 255 in the rear to keep a closer spread between the front and rear.

Put my 235/265 yokohama advans on breyton gts-r's and I'm rubbing pretty bad. I was pretty slammed on V3's so I'm gonna adjust those today and see what I can do. The fronts looked fine, I was just rubbing on the passenger side rear.

How are people rolling the fenders? They don't feel like previous fenders ive rolled. Kind of like the letter L that u roll into a V or even I. These BMW fenders feel solid. Ill have to look at them also.

I think I've seen some tool that you attach to the hub where the wheel would sit and it has an arm that rolls along the fender.
