F36 has the smallest front fenderwell space and 235/40/19(26.4") at ET29/30 has NOT grazed rubbed with the exception of three that i'm aware of who were at stock height. there are F36 with 19" 437M(same footprint as 9"@+30/10"@+40 VS-5RS) with 235/40+265/35, 245/35+285/30 imo VS-5RS at 8.5/9.5 have less suitable offsets for the staggered tire combo. tbh, at this point, i regret bringing up the wide rear staggered setup. maybe go with your original planned square setup? |

I had the set of Apex arc8 18x9 et30 255/35/18. They absolutely poked, about 3mm out. Actually I still have them, 4x square anthracite DM me, mint will ship.
It would have probably needed two to three degrees negative camber up front (aftermarket plates) to shove it in there and then I'm pretty sure it was going to hit that bracket. So you can try 9 et30t, maybe you like poke, but hopefully not and then be prepared to have to fight it. The f3x sucks and can't fit anything.. I want to run 19 by 11 with 305 square et10 but it doesn't fit. 8.5 et32-35 245 works well on this average commuter car. Need to roll the fenders and really get after it to fit anything decent. Not sure about this f-36 talk either. I don't really know why I still run a square setup. But what I posted earlier looks perfect. It's nice to be able to rotate the tires and there was some paranoia about the transfer case even with the same diameter. 245 really sucks the rear though I continually think about trying to go 265 or 275 back there somehow but it's not worth the hassle imo. I don't need more rear grip right now. It would just be for looks. Should have 305 back there Last edited by B58 parts; 05-17-2023 at 12:30 PM.. |

I was taking about the front .. and yes it poked in the rear a little bit too, but I only have one degree of camber in the rea, there's more room in the stock adjustment so those could have fit in without too much issue in the rear.

As I mentioned, I picked up my car with KW DDC fitted yesterday.
Not driven many miles, but so far it’s exactly what I want considering it’s a dd. In comfort it glides easily over manhole covers and small potholes and in sport it stiffens up without being too harsh. I don’t track my car so I don’t need the perfect track setup but for my use it perfect. Can only recommend it 👍😊

No issues with wheels.
No rubbing at all. And I’ve just come back from a small road trip. And I’m still very pleased with the setup. Does exactly what I want 😊

Can both the front and rear height be adjusted without having to remove the coilovers? What about all other adjustments? I've heard the rear ones have to come out to make some kind of adjustment.

I’m not sure. From what I’ve seen on YouTube videos, it should be possible to adjust without having to remove them.
