The tires are too large... Front rubbing the upper suspension arm under load (just sitting on the ground). Also with the Msport brake package, blue calipers, the inside of the wheel is right on the edge of rubbing ,2mm. Binding under load.

We looked at going to the OE m550i tire specs, got the tires in to tuck these beasts without rubbing...and this am we find the issue with the brake caliper clearance. hmmmm.. thinking 3mm spacers all around?

Or sell it off and just get some HRE's lol
he said he's running 12mm spacers at the front so front spacers would be helpful it seems?
