Rear Spring shims/pads. Will I rub?

[Mustafa564]

Hi everyone, so I have my 89e30 coupe lowered on h&r sport springs all around. I recently installed wheels and tires. 8 front and 9 rears. 205/45/16 front and 22/45/16 rear. Right away I notice the rear rubbing bad in rear. So installed 15mm rear spring pads from e46. They fixed the rubbing problem but the rear sits way too high to my liking. My question is. Will I still rub if I replaced the rear pad to 10mm from condor speed? Or will I rub? I can’t roll fenders in the rear.

Is there 5mm of room?

It's gonna be hard to be any lower and squeeze that et15 225 in the rear.

Most people run an 8 inch et20 to clear that kind of tire size.

A sport spring and that pad probably brings it back to stock height

Rolling the fenders is a MUST for an aggressive fitment. You also need to consider your suspension choice. H&R Sport springs are great but they're also on the softer side when compared to H&R Race springs or coilovers. A stiffer spring will also limit your tire to fender contact.

225/45/16 will rub in the rear with 8" ET20, at least with good tires, at stock ride height when the suspension squats/rolls, unsure about cheap-o tires that run narrow for the size. I know this because I did it myself. There is no hope of not rubbing with 9" ET15 without seriously limiting suspension travel or rolling the fenders. There are entire threads here on has fit these cars. E30 wheel fit is probably the most well documented of any car to ever have existed, everyone and their dog loves these cars, from stanceboys with their stagger and stretch, to boomer-tier collectors with their rare original options, to serious performance enthusiasts who just want the most grip they can afford.

I ended up rolling my rear fenders and installing condor speed shop 5mm rear pads and now no rub at all and front and back are equally balanced.
