Hey everyone just wanted to post some pics of my new wheels and tires for my 528i 97, the pictures look a little fuzzy but i took them with my sidekick so exuse them. They are 19 8X5, Black machine lip with Ultrac Sessanta Rubber.

Also have one quick question Is cold here in chicago but when I turn right I hear a rubbing noise comming from the front driver side wheel. I bought the car from this guy and he lower the car but only put springs and left the stock shocks. So I dont know if this is the problem can anyone help me out.

I am going to put the wheels on my Koni FSD/ Eibach pro kit suspension once the cold leaves.

Thank you all

Sounds like the tire is rubbing on your wheel well liner on the turns. What is the offset on your front wheels and tire size up front. I don't think replacing the shocks will help, but if you're going to put in new suspension anyway...do it and see if the rubbing persists

the size of the front tires are 235x35x19 the wheels are the 6 series oems i do not know the offset but if you know the offset of the 6 series oem wheels then you can get an idea, the tire brand are Bridgestone Potenzas, he had on the car. Also i notice that when i start goin and when i hit 40 the front wheel does like a rubbing sound but after i get past 40mph it stops. Also i have a the spare on the front right passenger side, since the pothole here in chicago ruin my wheel.

You think thats the problem. Or what do you all think
