My setup rubs

Tech1930 · 05-29-2023, 11:45 PM

Well got a 2016 340i xdrive, it's lowered on H&R sports springs with EDC. My wheel specs are 19x8.5 et32 & 19x9.5 et35. Tires originally were stock 225 40 & 255 35 which were stretched and left a lot of room for more rubber. Just recently replaced and went with 245 40 & 275 35. Has a nice thick look but the rears rub pretty bad along the sidewall when hitting dips at freeway speeds. Was thinking a fix could be finally upgrading to coilovers don't really want to spend the 3k right now (want to keep EDC). The other option is to try and roll/pull the rear fenders out just a tad. Nothing too big. Just don't want it to rub as much.

I run that setup on a RWD 704 suspension with no rubbing.

You shouldn't be rubbing. Get an alignment and make sure your camber is -1.6 to 2°
