Te37 square

[e90///M3]

I'm thinking of switching up my staggered te37 set for a squared set. I was wondering if the KW clubsport 2-way fit 18x10.5 +21 with 275/35. I want to stay away from using spacers also.

Please post pics if similar setup.
Thanks!

You will need a 10mm spacer in the front unless you swap to a shorter spring to gain inner clearance. Even then you might need a small spacer.

Yeah, you'll most likely need a spacer. I just mounted 18x10 +20 (after a spacer) with 275/35/18 Federal RS-RRs and it was rubbing by coilover. I had to run a 10mm spacer. RSRRs are known to be a bit wider. KWs are also known to get in the way a bit as well.

Assuming the spring or perch was out of the way, you're saying the KW strut is larger than other coil over struts?

It's the overall stack height including the helper spring that causes the perch to be low. Just remove the helper spring.
