Morning!! I will be fitting some Weitec 30mm drop springs this weekend to my E61 (I thought this would get a better response in the E60 section). The only thing i'm worried about is that they are going on my SE shocks for now... my fronts are currently running 235/40/19's, will i get rubbage?

I will change these to 35's when the time comes, but as these have plenty of tread left...

Hiya chaps.... I'm unsure tbh, they are 6 series alloys, the rears use 285/30's and the fronts have 235/40's (supposed to be 35's) thats all i know...how would i check

They line up in the arches, and sit flush.. I was worried about rubbing upon turning mostly but then i dont think these springs will drop them inoto the arches will they?
