Hi guys, just installed forgestar f14's on my e92, and it seems that when I make right turns i hear a rubbing noise possibly from the front fenders. The tires are 235/35/19 and 255/30/19, and the car has been lowered. Previously on my other set of wheels the fronts were 225/35/19 and this never happened, would this be due to the wider tires since its lowered?

Thanks

what are the offsets?

They arent just wider, they have a taller sidewall too.

Even though the old and new tires are 35 series..... the 35 series isn't a measurement in mm, it is actually a percentage. 35% of 235mm versus the old tires 35% of 225mm.

Just like 35% of 200 dollars is more than 35% of 100 dollars.

So you are wider, and have taller sidewalls.

Not too sure what the offsets are..but would I have to switch to 225's instead or would it be possible to do a fender roll instead?

Most likely passenger side tire rubbing against opening fins of the wheel well liner for the cooler.

Shave fins or heat gun and bend.

i don't think you can roll front fenders because they are plastic not like the rear fenders on the e92 or the e90. The e92 have plastic front fenders be aware of rolling them. Just change out tires to smaller height & you should be good to go

Ive seen your car around town, looks real good.

From the way it looks I don't think your rubbing on the outside. I think a spacer will help.

Thanks! Are you from Richmond as well?

And guess I can swap them with my other set's 225's and see if that fixes the problem

It might be easier to see if it's rubbing on the opening fins to your oil cooler or even the bolt that holds the cover to your oil cooler.

Perhaps ur wheels are too big
