Style 135 modifications/color change

Thanks! Center caps on order.

I will update when I get the coilovers back and installed, hopefully I don't have the rub on big bumps anymore then.

Like I mentioned in your other post, I had rubbing when running the 13mm offset difference.....and the shocks were not blown. It was only on big bumps. Eventually the tires started showing where they were rubbing on the fenders and you could feel the rubber on the inside of the fenders too!

Are you lowered or stock height?

So did you go to 10mm in the rear and it was fine then?

So I haven't got an alignment done yet, but am loving the new tires. The rear rubbing is worrying me though. The YCW coilovers have been redone and are on their way back to the USA. So in a couple weeks i can get those back on and get the full alignment. I'm not planning on going super low on the ride hieght, i want a nice ride quality.

Do you guys think the 12mm spacers in the rear will work out once i get the alignment and the coilover installed? (my rear shocks are completely shot right now)

I'm wondering how some people install 12mm and have no problems, and I am rubbing. Could it be the brand new Michelin's as they have so much tread being new?

No....So, I was getting the rubbing when running the 08 E90 Sport wheels (Style 197) and staggered so I had the usual 255/35/18 on the rear. Prior to having the style 135's refinished, I sourced a second set of 8.5s so I could run square. Now I am running 255/35 on all 4 corners using 8.5" wide 135s. They sit perfect on the car.....plus now I can rotate properly.

This is how they sat:



And now:

Sorry I couldn't find a side shot like the others but you can kinda see how the rear sits tucked in a little....as it does stock. It doesn't bother me though....beats hearing all that rubbing and worrying about it damaging the tire's sidewall.

It may be appropriate at this point to suggest this has nothing to do with style 135 modifications or color changes
