Advice: Agressive setup on E90

Hi guys,

I will be purchasing some rims this week and just wanted to double check even though I have done some research.

Here are the specs:
19x8.5 Front +32
19x10 Rear +23

I will get Falken FK452 tires in 235/35/19 and 265/30/19.

I will also get coilovers to set at the perfect height and roll my fenders.

What I want to know is will I rub with a moderate to agressive drop?
Will I need to pull the fenders as well? (how is that done?)

With a reasonable drop I guess there would be no rubbing at all?

Thanks!

You will need to fender roll the rear really good for a moderate/aggressive drop, the stance will look awesome. As for the front, I would suggest a little bit of fender rollings, nothing crazy.

with a roll in the rear you will be fine, the front should clear without a roll though.

What coils did you get?

I am doing the same setup but will run a stretch 255/30 rear Toyo T1R. Good luck. It should look amazing!

I'm hesitant to do this as well, but don't you think it's not enough tire?

Rear will probably need a bit of a roll. Run a 255 on the back and you may not need to roll at all depending on your camber and ride height

The front will fit no problem. For this reason I would suggest going with a more aggressive offset (or spacers) so that you do need to roll. Aggressive rear, with non-aggressive front will look odd in my opinion. You should go aggressive all around.

I think I'd rather roll the fenders and use a 265 tire in the rear.
I agree about the front, I will see how it looks and maybe I'll adjust with spacers!
