Hey guys I need so info. I have a 95 M3 and have 18 x 8.5 front and back. I have 235-40-18 on the rims now. I am dropping the car with Rac. Dyn. springs and konis. What are my chances of not rubbing. The springs are said to lower the car 1.75", but my buddy has them and it doesn't look like that much of a drop.

You should be fine. You might need spacers up front.

What kind of spacers do you mean?

The only thing I forgot to mention is that the offset is 35mm.

I'm running 245/35/18's in the front and i'm using 10mm spacers. I think the wheel may rub with the fender lining (when you turn) if you don't.

I would be more concerned about the rear rubbing. My car had rear rubbing issues once on 18x8's ET35 with 225/40/18's. No issues up front but needed rolling in the rear once I got my Ground Control parts on.

With 18x8.5" wheels and the same offset, I would imagine it would be even worse.

It is definitely possible but usually there isn't much of a problem with the front fenders casuing clearance issues. Usually it is the tires rubbing on the strurts or plastic inner fender lining.
