That's odd... I have 20's and it seems my car got higher and is deinitely not scraping as much as when i have my OEM 17's on.

"Summer: Radenergie RS10's 20x9 + 20x10, Falken 452's, 245/35/20, 285/30/20."
It's your tire profiles, at least from what I read in your signature.

I'm running 245/30/20 fronts and 285/25/20 rears.
I may bump them up one-series up next round or
run 255/30/20 fronts and 295/25/20 rears.

that's probably it. I had no idea.


Well, more rubber is always safer and helps your mtech front! =)

That it is Btw with your tire sizes does it ever rub?
Seems that 245/35/20 and 285/30/20 is easily available
compared to 255/30/20 and 295/25/20.

Ouch, sorry to hear about that , but I can emphatize. Like geneatals, I'm on all fours whenever I scrape, checking under the bumper . Good thing mine's at a point where you can't see it either, just annoying knowing it's there. Whenever the front splitter comes in, I'll most likely have the front bumper repainted.

PM me your PayPal address, and I'll pay for part of that tape.
Frank....

Dont waste your money on that $40 roll, I went to the auto-body paint supply store and the guy gave me 6' of the stuff free as it turns out its no different then the molding tape you can get at NAPA Auto Parts. I went to BMW and purchased a Beta Link kit and bought 1 roll of 3M molding tape 7/8" from NAPA and some duct tape. I did the spoiler last night, and came out great!! Watch out for the that Beta-Link stuff, it's MESSY!!!!!

All in all its cost me about $25 in supplies and about 1 1/2 hours of time.

Good luck
