Does anyone know if this suspension setup will rub?

I have a 2015 rwd M235i with apex EC7 wheels, 18x8.5 et 45 in the front and 18x9.5 et 58 in the back with 235 and 265 tires respectively. 5mm spacers all around.
The Fitment is pretty flush with no poke but there is still some gap I'd like to close a little bit.
Has anyone done dinan springs and bump stops with this set up? Would it rub? Thank you for any input!

Suscribing, would be curious to know the answer as well as free bump.

If anyone know if 18x8.5 et38 with 235 would fit easier or harder than that et45, would love to know that as well!

et38 will fit with this set up. You will probably need a spacer for et45 in the front.

I run 18x8.5 et45 and 245/35 squared with an 8mm spacer in the front. I'm also on KW coilovers.

You are on coilover and you fit 245/35?

Any idea what your camber is with the KW coilover?

No rubbing?

Mind sharing picture?

Not sure about the camber.

I only rub on the front fender lip when I go over really bad bumps. I plan on rolling the fenders.

Based on your pictures, I am assuming you don't have camber plates on your setup?

Adding some negative camber like 2 degrees, should clear your fenders without further action. You can still roll them though just so there aren't any sharp edges for the tire.
