20" CH-R's and springs rubbing?

The Brick · 05-15-2016, 08:23 PM

I just installed some used 20" CHR's (standard M3 fitment) with some KW height adjustable springs and I am having some rubbing issues. Looking in the wheel wells, it looks to be primarily on the left side (plastic on the front wheel well liner). It hits when I turn right at speed. I don't have the thing slammed (see pics)...am I doing something wrong? I see others a lot lower than this. I haven't gotten it aligned yet, but I have a hard time believing it will create much, if any additional clearance.

Front:
9,0J x 20 ET24
255/30 Falken FK453 tires

Rear:
10,5J x 20 ET24
305/25 Falken FK453 tires

I'm interested in this as well.. Planning on running some KW's on the same 20" CH-R.

However, the only thing is, I run 10mm less than you on a Michelin PSS
245 30/20
295 25/20

Never get any rubbing.. Perhaps the front may be too wide?

No suggestions? Is anyone else running 255's in the front with KW springs and not rubbing?

I am running 255's and only get a slight rub when turning. I had pss and went with f453's and big different less aggressive tire and less rubbing. I am on swift spec r's so not sure how much lower u are.

I would have thought you would be rubbing in the rear.

Yeah, I thought the rears would be the problem also...but the 305's seem to fit fine.
