H&R lowering springs?Do you think the tires would rub against the fenders lowering it

[Alfabreath]

I was reading that the springs lower the car 1.3 inches. I have 18 inch aftermarket rims on my vehicles and I feel it needs to be lowered to look and handle better.Anyone have any experience with these or any other springs you would recommend.Do you think the tires would rub against the fenders lowering it?. Thanks in advance1431F3BD-01FB-4FBF-8034-EFC85304BD13.jpg

I lowered mine but I had the rear subframe off and welded in the camber/toe kit because as you lower it you increase camber and toe. That way you can have the rear aligned. I'm running 315's in the rear. I did have to roll the lip a bit.

It entirely depends on the width and offset of your wheels. I'm lowered on H&Rs, and run OE 8.5ET41 with 20mm spacers. No rub. Apex sells a 9.5ET35 for the Z3 and those fit. Heck, roll the rear fenders ever so slightly and you can run a 9.5ET25.

Thanks, My concern is more of the front and the rear

Post your wheel specs and you'll have a better chance to know. My previous comment was regarding the rear of my Z3. Rear of M I run a 10.5ET22 with 285/35-18. Tons of space back there.

On my M (also on H&R Sport), up front I run an 18x8.5 ET35 with 235/40 Conti DW. No camber plates and no swapped strut mounts. I'll get the very slightest of rub, but only in a max turn condition (i.e. low speed).
