265/35/19 is~ 26.3" diameter in the front is very tight hence the rubbing. 255/35 and 275/30 are common for the front's in 19s. If you're cool wearing through the fender liner keep running them.

Dropping the rear won't be a problem.

Wow, 265s no chance for me. I rub like crazy with 255/35/19s. I've almost worn a hole in my front liners.

255/35r19 on 220m wheels with a 15mm front spacer and swift spec r's has created a divot in the liner on the trailing side of the tire on each side.

Likewise, 275/35r19 rears with a 12.5mm spacer rub the fender lip when swifts are installed.

The solution for the rear is to downsize the spacer to something like 5mm, since 10mm apparently doesn't interface well with the hub, or go box rear spacer at all.

I chose the no spacer route in the rear for now.

Will be downsizing tires thanks guys ! What lowering springs should I pair with ZCP M359 wheels non competition e92 M3 coupe with 255/35/19 front + 15mm front spacers and 275/35/19 +12.5mm rear spacers

And of course would be doing e36 M3 bumpstops

If you do decide on swift spec r's e36 bumpstops are not needed as the springs are specifically designed around e9x factory bumpstops.

The Eibach pro kit seems to be the least aggressive in terms of drop, so perhaps if you want to run 255/275 35's on 19's with those same spacers I'd have I'd suggest that kit.

If you don't mind a little harmless rubbing than the swifts do a fantastic job for the money. Price vs performance is quite good.

I love my eibach's with edc shocks. I feel the ride is even smoother than stock. Eibach's absorb all the small bumps better than OEM springs. They are plenty low enough. The stance is similar to a Porsche GT3. With eibach's you don't need e36 bump stops. Just install and enjoy.

I'm on 19x9 255/35 et20 with 5mm spacers and get a lot of rubbing btw. My liners will definitely have holes in them soon. With any aggressive offset 245/35 is the way to go upfront. If you want meaty tires go with 18s.

probably going to do eibach springs 100% keeping the OEM ZCP wheel 255/35/19 + 15mm spacers front 275/35/19 + 12.5mm rear if I can't find any lowering springs that fit this see I run a 265/35 19 in the front I only rub near full lock only on my left on my right same thing except not as much just slightly near full lock too that's it

FWIW, the 359M wheels are made by KAG not BBS...

So I just read through this whole thread and the question about the rear spring tubing was asked multiple times but no one answered it. Can anyone help with that? Lol
