Hello Im looking into getting a set of BC Forged wheels HB29s. They are 19x10 fronts and 19x11 rears. with 265/30/19 fronts and 295/30/19 rears. My car is lowered on Swift spec R springs. I want to see if the front wheels will rub? Seller says no and he has sent me plenty of photos which looks like there is plenty of clearance. he was also lowered on H&R springs. But most suggest 19x9.5 fronts with the same 265/30/19 tires for e92 M3 fitment. I don't want to do any mods such as fender rolling or camber. Any suggestions, will the 19x10 front work? offsets are et25 fronts and et22 rears.

I think that will work. I ran 19x9.5 with a 265-30-19 and it was close. Depends on the drop but the little wider rim should stretch the tire slightly making shoulders more rounded. Why opposed to getting an alignment to add some camber?

Im just nervous as they are pretty expensive set of wheels and tires. But I love them. Beautiful looking. The guy says he has zero rubbing. Would there be any other issues with that sizing?

As far as camber I was worried about tire wear. I don't want to go through tires like crazy as this is my only car and daily driver. So I was hoping to stay away from any camber issues.

By the way what were you dropped on springs or coilovers? I don't think my swift spring drop is too dramatic. So I hope that will help.

i was stock ride height but had -2.5 degrees of camber.

I replied tour pm. Front will fit, add camber, car needs it, I would prefer 275/30/19 in front, rear will be your problem. Et22 is too aggressive for 295's IMO.

Toe causes tire wear issues. A little camber won't be a problem for you.

Im running 19x10, 19x11 Forgestars with the tire specs you said. I dont know the offsets b/ Frogestar "wont release them". Im sure they would tell me, but I just haven't directly asked.

I have no issues rubbing in the front but I do rub a little in the rear when I drop my KW sleeves pretty low. I have to keep them raised up a bit.

Slicer, do you think I could go to a 285 in the rear to be able to go lower without rubbing? Tires are PSS

So you think this setup would fit on my car with no issues? I only have swift springs so Im not super low.

I would think so but I don't know my offsets exactly to compare them with yours.

If your offsets were the same as mine, you wont have any issues.

I would listen to Slicer who responded above me though, he knows his stuff. I'm no expert, I just know I don't rub in my front whatsoever

I don't know; if you find out your offsets I would be able to help.

He doesn't know his wheel offsets; comparing his wheels to yours is immaterial without that information.

I think I may pull the trigger on these wheels. It seems they are et22 fronts and et25 rears. That should work out correct slicer?

If that is what the offsets actually are then yes they will work. You may need to add some camber front and rear. The rear will rub the small plastic protrusion on the inside where the fender and the bumper meet / attach. This is where my 295's on 11" et25 rub very slightly on large dips in the road. Not a problem and it's only plastic that's not painted.

I think Im going to buy the wheels than. it just seems like a good deal and I really like the wheels a lot. So as far as the camber goes, you say that wont cause tire wear?

I run -2.0 on the street and have for 12k miles. I have not noticed any abnormal tire wear. That being said, I usually don't put more than 4k miles on any one set of tires (I buy and sell wheels a lot). I did max out my camber with Eibach springs installed on my last M3 (2008, -1.6 degrees of camber by pulling alignment pins in the front) which I sold with 35k miles. I never noticed any uneven tire wear on that car either. I kept my wheels / tires longer back then... I run close to 0 toe on the street.

The only camber wear I have seen is outside wear because I don't have enough camber when running on the track (I run -2.8 on the track).

So this sounds like it should work out good for me. Especially since Im getting a set of wheels I really like. I already sent the money by paypal tonight so I was a bit nervous lol I still need to get the car aligned being I just had the swift springs installed this past Friday. Is there any special alignment #s I should give the shop for requesting alignment? Also, these wheels don't have TPMS and Im not going to dismount the tires to have any put on. What options do I have to get rid of the light that will come on?

Its et19 front and et25 rear.

Should I stick with PSS and drop to a 285 rear or go with another brand like Hankook and stay 295?

You should be barely able to fit 295's in the rear with that offset. Didn't you say you were already successfully running 295's? Are you rubbing the painted fender (10:00 on driver's side)? Or is it just the fender liner where there is a protrusion at the fender / bumper connection? I wouldn't worry about slight rubbing if it is the later. I would not want to rub the painted fender; if that's the case you could go down to a 285. I am however running probably the widest 295's in existence (BFG Rivals) with that same width and offset and I'm not having issues.
