RE-11 in 285/35/19 with Eibach Springs...

Asking the eternal question, will it rub with Eibach springs on a 2011 E90 M3? I know the RE-11 runs large but hoping the mild drop from the Eibachs coupled with the 10.5" rim width will be good news. Any thoughts from the fitment experts? Specs below...

19x10.5 +23 offset

It's very likely you'll rub with 285/35/19. The RE11 has a pretty square profile so unless you've dialed in a fair bit of negative camber, I doubt it will fit.

Why not run a 295/30/19, closer in diamater to OEM than the 285/35/19. Although the 23mm offset could be the deal breaker...

Reason I'm asking about the 285/35 is its an existing wheel/tire package I'm looking at picking up... I suppose worst case scenario if it rubs I could ditch the rears for a pair in 275/30/19 but thats not optimal of course. Anyone else?

275/30/19 would probably worse in the fact that its a fair stretch on 10.5" rims.

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but just wondering if you had any rubbing issues with the 285/35/19's with Eibach springs?

Yep I did actually, I got some minor rubbing over dips/bumps. Ended up swapping the RE-11's for Pilot Super Sports and now all is well.
