Will this work?

So ive done my research and cant find a definitive answer. This is what i plan on doing any help will be appreciated

2009 e92 no edc
RD sport springs
Avg 19x9 et 18. 19x10 et 25
Nitto invo 255 35 19. 285 30 19
Ms spacers 15mm front 12mm rear

Will i rub with this set up? If not what spacers do you reccomend to get most aggresive stance.

Thanks guys!

That will rub.

My set up is 19x9 +15 and 19x10.5 +20 with 255 and 275 tires. With a 285 tire in the rear it'd be flush. I could probably run a 265 or 5 mm in the front.

I don't think you can get away with anything more than 5 mm spacers all around.

Thanks! Anyone else try this setup and have any rubbing issues? I could live with minimal rub under full compression.

I know you want other opinions but I can tell you this: I spent a lot of time with EAS's tech trying to decide on how aggressive I could go without rubbing. My setup but with 10mm instead of 5mm spacers (the numbers I gave you earlier for my setup include 5mm spacers) would cause rubbing. I would have had to cut the rear fender liner for sure.

Unless you start playing with camber, you won't be able to do more than 5mm spacers with that setup.

+1 even with only a 5 mm spacer on the front I think it might rub but that depends on how square the shoulder is on the tire.
