Hi Guys

I ran 205/55s on both koni and bilstein/eibach suspension with standard 15" BBS rims and never had a rub. I also ran 225 on 8x16" Alpinas at the rear with no issue.yaad wrote: ↑Mon Jun 07, 2021 11:14 ami lowered my bmw e30 cab last week with eiback pro springs and bilstein b4 suspension by 30mm. since ive lowered the car my driver side rear tyre is grinding against the tyre. it currently has 205 tyres and ive been told to get 195 now. anybody else have this problem?
Either you are running some funny width/offset or there is something wrong with the setup
What exactly is the problem? what is rubbing on what?

could be anything from a slightly bent trailing arm to worn out bushes.
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.

The rear driver side top outside of the tyre grinds against the inside of the arch, soowly wearing tyre away and makes horrible noise driving. Ive been told my offset is bad and to get 195 tyres as all my tyres are diff makes.
Would that help?
