I'm running 255/40/18 tires in the front and 265/40/18 tires in the back. Will I have a problem with rubbing at full turn in the front if I go with h&r super sport springs or should I just get sport springs to be safe?

What wheel specs?

This may help. I have a 330i msport with staggered 19" wheels and H&R Super Sport Springs. I experience no rubbing at full turn or otherwise.

I'm running 9.5 +38 all around. My front tire is a 255/40/18 so my wheel is a bit wider than yours. I know when you drop a certain amount. You can rub on full turn because the wheel/tire set up is wider. From the looks of it I should be fine in the back. Your car does look great and the drop doesn't look TOO low so I might be safe. I'll keep doing some research and see what I find. Thank you!

Edit: after a second look I realized you have a 1in bigger diameter than me so i might be good. Thank you again!

I'm running same wheels and spec as you but I'm on 245/40/18 with 5mm spacer up front. I'm on KW coils. After getting tires mounted I'm realizing your 255/40/18 would probably have been more ideal. I have plenty of room up front for a bigger tire. You should be good on springs with those tire specs. Hope these pics show you much much room you have up front on 245/40/18

No issues rubbing at full turn then? If so I might go with the super sport springs then. Thank you. I Love TE's on this car

No rubbing full turn on 245/40/18, can't confirm if 255/35/18 or 255/40/18 would rub but from the looks of it I still have some room with my current tires

Do you like the ride of the super sports ? I don't wanna give up too much comfortability when lowering it

I don't think it's too stiff and actually think it rides the same.

Are you currently running the super sports? If so how's the ride on them and are you running the stock struts? I love the look of them so I'm really contemplating them

I did not experience much of a difference in ride comfort compared to stock. It's slightly tighter, but hardly noticeable.
