Thanks.
No rubbing or rolled fenders. The 285\30r19 tires are slightly stretched. I wanted 305's but there was a mix up when I ordered them
I could still throw on 5-10mm spacer but that might be pushing it?!?!?
I pic prior to the Ksport coilover install

I also have a 530i

Running same wheel setup as member above. Avant Garde M310 Matte Black 19 x 8.5 F, 19 x 11.0R w/ Hankook V12s 245/35/19F, 285/30/19R. Rear tires are slightly streched. I'm getting 295 on my next set. Member 'ktlocklear' went with 305s with his AG wheels

https://5series.net/forums/topic/113...k-some-photos/

Sports suspension, non lowered, no spacers, no fender roll --> I have NO rubbing issues. However the Rear gap is quite large and I am eventually going to get coilovers.

RPI GT EXhuast is pretty awesome. Sounds good on the I6 and I'm very happy with it. Good luck modding.

No spacers and I will throw 305's on shortly. The suspension has been lowered an inch and a half thanks to Ksport coilovers from Michael at Acuteperformance.
