Hi guys, I'm fairly new and just don’t have much time to spend hours and hours on the forum with my job, so I apologies in advance please don’t bash the thread because I didn’t go searching the forum.

I'm looking to upgrade the stock look

Ideally I would like to run 275/35/18 rear
245/40/18 front Michelin PSS

12mm h&r spacers in front and 10mm h&r spacers rear

does anyone with experience know if this set up will rub?

or guide me to a thread to answer my question?

Autosport7

I run 12mm spacers front and rear. I am running 235/265.
Not sure if this helps but no rubbing here.

I have H&R coilovers maxxed out on the drop, running 235/40 front and 265/35 rear, no spacers... No rubbing...

Depends on rubber. 275s will rub if you have 10mm spacers and a drop. 265s should not rub but depends on rubber brand and car. Some people have run 265s w/ 10mm spacer and been fine, some have rubbed with exact same setup, but most of the time they won't with 10mm spacer.

The front you will more than likely rub with 12mm spacers, 245s and a drop.

Michelin PSS Only

Roswell told me I would rub with 265 and 10 mm out back. I don't doubt it. I hardly have any room back there. 275 would most definitely be a no go.

Thanks for the feedback, thats on stock suspention? Autosport7 is running 265 and 12mm spacer and has no rub so I'm a little confused

chrisridebike8

On H&R springs w/17mm pads.

CSIKTY3

oh.. ok yea im not doing any lowering

Roswell

I believe Autosport is not lowered either. Your rear tires will stick out a bit with 275 & 10mm spacers. You will only rub with passengers I guess.

CSIKTY3

Do you suggest 265 and 12mm all around?

Roswell

12mm is too far out even with 255, but again u r at stock height so u should be ok.

I would go 265 w/10mm at most.

275 on 18x9 might be too meaty on sidewalls & compromise the stability of the car in cornering, like that mushy feels.

Roswell

Here is an old picture showing the 10mm with 255 dropped on h&r.. It is very tight back there.

CSIKTY3

yea i want to go as wide as possible give it a"beefy" look I know autosport is 265 with 12mm spacers in rear which so far seems to be the widest and he has no complaints thats why I wanted to see if anyone has experience with 275 10mm or 275 12mm as I will not be lowering the car

Roswell

At stock height, u will definitely be fine with no passenger @ 275-12mm combo. U get more choice than lowered.

Again, 275 on 18x9 is not the best set up from reading ppl feedbacks. Ppl said 275 works better in 19" wheels.

Roswell

Are ur fenders rolled? I'm surprised u don't rub over bumps or dips at high speed. Or with passengers?

CSIKTY3

darn, at the end of the day my car is a daily driver and at times possibly 5 people in the car

Roswell

Daily driver w/ 5 passengers at time.. No go at 275 with any spacers size.

Just do 275 alone if u want the beefy look. The fat sidewalls will help make them look flush.

CSIKTY3

got it will do that save me money too lol, plus I'm not crazy about corner with spacers had them on my e46 and now e90 328i as well... so ill do 275/35..... 245/40 in the front is ok?

Roswell

Search for member khmergod, he tried 10mm with 265 PSS & rubbed. Props to those who pulled it off at 265 w/10 or 12mm rear.

ran 275 on stock 18s with 12mm spacers had light rub here and there.


now running 265 19s with 12mm spacers no rub at all.




both oem wheels on oem p30 suspension

CSIKTY3

Do you suggest I run 275 with 10mm?

CSIKTY3

Guys I got the 275 / 35 n 245 / 40 on

Need more aggressive any feedback would be great

johnny--2k

what are you looking for in terms of aggressiveness? That setup on stock suspension seems pretty aggressive without spacers or lowering, it's about all your gonna get.
