New Z4 owner. Front wheels rubbing problem

[ChrisZ4]

Don't tell me that! :wink: . Looking at that 225 looks fine, so I might consider that when the tyres are due for replacement. Thanks for posting up pics mate.

225/35/19 on 19x8.5'' wheel. You can see it's stretched, but not too much.





Honestly, this is the only way you're gonna sort the rubbing issue. The bumper bracket won't make a huge difference and i've been there and done everything you've said regarding your problem and this is the only way to sort it, short of swapping the springs for standard ones.

are they 8.5 wheels? look way more stretched than mine and I'm sure mine are the same combination.

Yours don't look stretched at all-what tyres do you run as I know they all have different shapes even if they're the same size.

These are my 313's which are 19x8 with 225/35/19 tyre, slightly dark photo but as you can see absolutely no stretch!

Ta.Think mine are 8.5j so half an inch wider?

Jaedba, yes they're 8.5'' wide. I think the nangkangs are on the narrow side of 225 also. Apparently some tyres are wider than others, despite being advertised as the same width.

I only put the nangkangs on to make sure it wouldn't rub, then decided to run them until they were useless. Currently trying to find some cheap eagle f1's to match my rears.

i had same problem, 19 with 235/35 on eibachs

swapped to 225 / 35 which reduced the rubbing by 95%
