I have a 2000 330ci with 18inch m3 rims on it. The tires rub the back wheel wells when I go over bumps/turn-take corners to hard. I had the fenders rolled in hopes that this would fix the problem... It is better but still rubs. I have 325 width in the front and 355 in the back, what can I do to stop the rubbing so I can enjoy my car? New springs? Shocks? Lower profile tires? The least expensive options would be preferred. Please tell me what you think would fix this problem

Do you mean 225 and 255? Get coilovers. If you don't don't want to get coilovers or do fender modification then trade your m3 rears for m3 fronts

Aren't the 18s and 19s different styles?

Are you kidding me. I can tell the difference a mile away. Also the 18s have a lip and the 19s don't. Just buy coilovers.

i run 9" rims on the front and 9.5" in the rear- Its a 265 in the rear... I used to have some rub with stock suspension but recently added bilstein/ HR springs to the equation lowering my car over an inch...I avoid the rub with a -1.9 camber
