Are you running spacers on the fronts and rears? I think B4 + eibach pro's don't run into rubbing if spaced correctly with spacers. I am yet to install this combo (waiting on parts to arrive). I already have 15mm rear and 12mm front spacers so I'm hoping not to run into any rubbing After installation and settling
Thicker spring pads/shims to raise the front a touch?

I had rubbing with a 225/40 front et37 with no spacers. Eibach Pro.

That looks perfect. For reference what was the part number for the 6mm?
Great wheels, too. I had them on my 130i, just watch for cracking as apparently they're quite fragile. I never had an issue, though.
Thanks both. Part number 31331128522, 9mm thick rather than standard 3mm.
No issues with rubbing, no spacers but the 216s offsets mean the wheels sit 13mm further out than standard e86 wheels anyway with the e90 offsets.

Do let me know if the rubbing is linked to worn out top mounts. Already bought new parts for the full assembly (including washers) but considering the E46 spring pads with 6mm difference. Don't want to go through all the effort to install everything only to end up with the same issues you have with B4 + Eibach pro's. Still haven't assembled my spring and dampers yet so I got time to either go with the E85 spring pad or E46.
I have a roadster so not sure if that plays a role between the hight and feel of B4 + Eibach

Many folk with the Eibachs have no issues at all, but others, including me, do.
It seems hit and miss.
That's why I think im fighting another hidden issue such as saggy springs, or sunken top mounts..
Upon inspection, though, the top mounts seem fine.
Not sure it it helps but i also had new e86 OEM top mounts fitted at same time as the suspension in my image above.
