As of last night I installed my Hamann's HM2 (18). I'll post some pics of it soon. Also I just wanted to thank all the people that told me that 235/40 would fit with out rolling my fenders. Because I now do have to roll my fenders. I love it when people tell you somthing that they really dont know the answer to. It rubs when i hit the slightest bump, turn, or have people in my back seat.

cockblock. Sorry 2 hear about your tire rubbing problem the 235/40 are known to work, it could possibly be your stock shocks are weak and when you hit bumps thats why u get tire rub but i dunno. How long have you ben on the H&R sprots? The rear of my car was as low as my friends car who was on H&R sports and bilstien shocks when i was on stock suspension a while back. I think that was b/c my stock shocks/springs were weak making my rear lower. You shoudl probally get shocks anyways you will notice an improvement on handling w/ stiffer shocks too.

Can i get some1 elces opinion on my thoughts?

F#$%ed up my fender tonight. While leaving starbucks I bent the right front fender alittle, and shaved of alittle ruber off the wheel. Hopfully I'll have it rolled my monday.

I just got 18's too and my 235/40's fit fine. Do M3's have bigger wheel wells?

Why not just use H&R Spacers instead of rolling your fenders?

You really shouldn't be having any problems with rubbing with that tire size all around. Especially in the front...Thats weird if you ask me. You stock shocks might have something to do with it though.

GM3 · #13 (**permalink**) 09-29-2002, 09:39 AM

it's for sure because of your stock shocks

Curious, what offset are those HM2s?

Like others have said, probably worn susp components. I know many people run the same size tire w/o any problem(s).

You said that you had dropped your car? What was teh dimensions of the shocks/springs that you bought and do u remember how low it dropped it?
