But here's my issue. I just upgraded my '08 535xi wheels from the boring stock style 243 17x7.5" to a staggered setup of Avant Garde M310's (19x9.5 ET33 rear, 19x8.5 ET35 front). I also lowered with KW V3's, about 1.5" per corner. Looks great, but now my rears are rubbing. I'm trying to determine if the rubbing is on the outside (fender) or on the inside (suspension). I'm not particularly mechanical, but after eyeballing it, it looks to me like there's tons of room on the inside of the wheel. Is that typically true of our cars, or am I misunderstanding what I'm looking at?

Bottom line is that I'll happily have the fenders rolled, if that's the problem. (No way I'm raising it any higher!) But obviously, I need to verify where I'm rubbing first. Here's a couple of pix of the rear wheel. Let me know if this gives you any hints.

I am riding on the miro M6 reps but the only problem I have is that Im all the way down on the last turn (front) and I still have 10 turns left (rear). I wish I could go lower some how in front.. Ill definitely consider new wheels for next year but not sure what yet? I heard that as an XI, we cannot go too off with the staggered set ups? Is this true? I want to poke out aggressively on my next wheel. How far can I go? How low of an offset? 25(front) 22(rear) ?
