Style 230 twist

Hey,
I am looking at changing up my style 108s for some style 230s
I have recently refreshed all the suspension and now running eibach springs roughly 30mm lower on standard Bilstein shocks.
Would these fit without rubbing as I definatley love the look of them and complement the angles of the Z4
 
I had front rubbing with these and Eibach springs. Rears were fine.
The arch liner had a hole in it where it meets the arch and bumper join, from a result of rubbing.
There's some history on my owners thread somewhere. Link in sig.
It ruined the car for me so I swapped them out.

It's odd, as some folk use the exact setup I had with no issues, but others say they get rubbing (I was in that group)
Maybe some Eibachs sag over time?
 
Thanks for the info Meds
Maybe you had tired shocks? I'll hunt for the old thread
I am sceptical on going 19" but they do look soooo good and not my daily

I have Koni Yellow Sport dampers and they're holding up the front Supplex (OEM height) and rear Eibach fine.

Had them on my old zed with 225 35 front and 255 30 rear. Eibach and Bilstein suspension with no rubbing.
 
Great look BigAndra :thumbsup:
Even though mine is lowered I still have goood front clearance in the arch. Just gonna bite the bullet and do it. The style 108s are looking lost in the arch currently, 230s will fill them out and offset much better.
 
Style 295s (an E89 wheel) look very similar as 18s, but the E89 offsets put them further out in the wheelarches.

I ran a set on my previous E86 and didn't have any rubbing on OE Sport suspension.

Sooooo next opinion.
Sterling grey Z4 with silver style 230s.
What colour calipers ??
I was thinking dark gold/bronze or just a subtle anthracite grey ?
Any other opinions? Currently red but too in your face and chavy.
My M5 has blue calipers but that suits the massive dinner plate discs and giant calipers so want to steer clear of blue.
