Very nice. Thats the way it should come stock. I am still amazed at the wheel gap BMW has over its competitors stock. Like they are the last ones to the party to close the gap.

Yes, wheel spacers and the front ARE rubbing against the fenders from time to time. I've order wider 20mm spacers for the rear and going to move the 15mm to the front. Should have them on by the end of this week.

Against my better judgement and to pick form over function, I've decided to put 20mm spacers in the back and move the 15mm spacers from the back to the front, which most likely will make the rubbing even worse. The rear seems to be perfect, no problems, just want to make the tire flush. In order to have a good setup I'd have to take out the front spacers entirely (because BMW fronts have to be at least 12mm), but that would make the car look a bit like a "funny car". Not sure what I'm going to do yet, I just love the look. |

If you did not have the spacers on the front would it still rub? This is exactly why I did coil overs. A lot more money, but in the end being able adjust height is a peace of mind.

At this point, I'm considering removing the front spacers because I looked at my fender yesterday and its already bent and my tires don't look very good, they have good gouges around the edges. |

I've lowered all my cars including a Porsche GT3, Nissan GTR, Audi S5 with H&R super sport springs, and these are definitely the lowest yet. The back seems fine, but the front is super lower. Somehow I think that H&R may have become lazy and just provided the same springs for the 428 and 435 -- and I'm assuming the 435 engine weights more and drops the car a little further.
At this point it rubs all the time, I cringe as I drive around town. I've actually taken the car to a body shop today to have the fenders rolled,I'll let you know how it goes. BTW, I have 12mm spacers out front, without those the tires would easily tuck into the body without rub. I've recently increase my rear spacers from 15mm to 20mm and there's been zero rub. |

Yes, you are correct, without the spacers I would have zero rub. I just like the wheels filling out the wheel well. I haven't had the car aligned since the drop cause all the shops in town don't have the settings for the 2014 435 yet, so I have to take it to BMW. Fenders getting rolled today.... I've widened the rear spacers from 15mm to 20mm without any rub.
