My Ride: no work done yet, just go the car a week ago but looking to do some work soon
I just put on a set of OEM M6 wheels and tires and i love the look. However after dropping some family off tonight after easter on a small dip in the road i rubbed with my back wheels and my fender. This was the first time it has happened to me also this was the first time i had 2 people sitting in the rear after installing the wheels. Has this happened to anyone else? another thing is what should i do, because i was looking to get the eibach springs and this would lower my car even more so i guess then i would deff rub on bumps......

As felix said, what tires are you running? If you aren't already, you should be running 245/35 f and 275/30 r. My 550 was lowered on Eibachs and never rubbed even under full load.

that's because you are running the correct tire size for an e60
