Depends a lot on tire size/make/model. Before more substantial mods, I ran 19x8.5+32 240/40, 19x10+38 275/35 Mich PSS. I only got minimal fender liner run on one side at full lock, so you can definitely do 3mm up front. Much more than that and you have to start worrying about losing the hubcentric centering.
I had to roll and pull the rear, but you can likely get another 10-12mm before you have to get hands on with the fenders. Since you already have the wheels and tires, an easy way to check is to dump the air with INPA and measure.
I'm running Conti Extreme Contact 245/40R19, and it's already pretty tight up front at full lock (definitely have witness marks on the fender liner, but not noticeable in car). The rear is lowered with INPA, but I think I easily have 10mm to play with. I'll get around to measuring it eventually!
Thanks! I got them from Umnitza - overall, it fits pretty well. I had a professional shop do a dry fit, paint, and then final assembly, and I think that helped with overall fit/finish.
Admittedly pic whoring but hey this is a picture thread so why not...owned about a year. Lots of maintenance performed getting it sorted. Feels like we are over the hump. I know, shhhh, you'll jinx it.
Fwiw, m5 tire specs without rubbing or intrrference are possible on a 535xi with stock suspension and no fender work. 255/40r19 et35, 285/35r19 et39 with ff Indy 500 tires. They must run a little narrow size for size vs other brands. I was pleased it worked. Researched for the better part of a year before pulling the trigger.
more info on the is coils. What valving did you choose? Comfort, street, track? Any review on ride feel, install, etc...pleased with them? Thanks for more info.

Thank you!
I chose the Street valving. Since I need to roll the fenders (& get an alignment), I've been driving pretty conservatively. It's currently set at 16 (out 32 clicks). Till I get things properly situated (alignment, rolled fenders), I may adjust it. So far (around town), they feel fine. I can't speak to the install since my brother and couple friends were kind enough to do it for me! The kit comes with rear springs to replace your air bags. I decided to hold off on installing the rear springs and see how this combo works.
Cool and thanks for the info. I see where you can get fronts only, rear shocks only or the full kit. At the price point, seems to make good sense to grab the entire kit and ditch the rear air if so choose to do so.
What was your wait time on receiving them? Where ordered from? Read they take quite a long time if not "in stock"
