I'm planning to get FSD w/Eibach for my 530i running 19" wheels with 275/30 for the rear ET 25 and 245/35 for front, ET 15.
But I don't know if I drop it with Eibach, would it rub?
I also want to see how it's look after dropping it.
If anyone running this setup (FSD/Eibach with 19"), please post picture.
Thanks

What are your wheel widths, front & rear? The offsets looks fine given typical wheel widths that most run with 19" wheels.
For the rear tire, use 275/30, not 35 which is too tall.

Yeah, you are right. Just corrected.

But seriously, just fooling around...

I am running Koni/H&R (not what you're looking for, I know) on my 540 with 245/35 F and 275/30 R and the gap is minimal. I only have mild rubbing issues in the rear with 2 passengers in the back seat and really large bumps. Even my parents were commenting that the e39 rode nicer than the OEM suspension on my TSX. I would think your setup would yield similar results.

what are the offset of the F & R?
The same as mine?

Not sure of the offset actually. The car came setup like this when I got it. I have had the wheels off but there are no offset markings at all. If I had to guess, I'd say 22-25 Rear, about 15 Front. The wheels are Maya RT5s....

Man, 278 people have read it and no one running this setup that have a picture of it?
Hard to believe.

Do you have any pictures?
