Lowered the ZHP on Koni yellows and H&R Race springs this weekend. Stuffing 19x10s with 265/30/R19s under those rear arches proved challenging; I no longer have the upper half of the lettering on my tires after the initial test drive •_•

An afternoon with a fender roller fixed that up nicely! Super happy with the results! The perfect amount of low and I love the shock/spring combo.

Sweet! I'm actually raising mine today while the BMW CCA group has their annual Maryhill Loops Event where we went a private road over the course of two days.

With the new wheels I rub a ton but don't have the time to roll and cut this weekend.

Looks awesome, that rubbing did not look friendly.

JG330i: that sounds like a fun time, and yeah, probably best to take care of making clearance when you're not in a rush. It's time consuming work, or was for me ;-p

M0nk3y: Thanks! Yeah, I drove about 5 miles with more or less constant rubbing. It left a nice sticky ball of rubber on the trailing edge of the inner fenders, haha. I'm still rubbing a little over very large bumps, but it seems to be something inside the wheel well and not the fenders themselves...
