Any issues running H&R Sport on 325XI with 19" rims

ironlung · 03-17-2010, 02:28 PM

Hey guys, just got my 19" SF71s and my ride is like a monster truck. Possible to install H&R Sports on a 325xi running 19" rims without rolling fenders, or rubbing issues?

What width and offsets are you running? Tire size?

SV Concepts II · 03-17-2010, 06:08 PM

Should be fine, H&R sports is a pretty conservative drop and the XI stock ride height is like you said, 4x4 status.

im running ET33 and ET40 (i think--recommended offset) with 9.5 in the rear.

tire size:
265/30/19 , 235/35/19

With those specs you should be fine without having to roll fenders. What tires are you running though? Those play a big factor, but since you're running 235's upfront and 265's rear should be good.

Actually i settled on the eibachs pros.. will I have problems with eibach pro on a 325xi with 19 et33 and et40 265-30-19 and 235-35-19

Be careful with the Eibach pros as they're not made for the xi. I've heard members running these for a little while and then the ride becoming increasingly harsher. I would just go with springs that are meant for the weight of your specific vehicle. With the specs you outlined, you should have no rubbing issues as the offsets and tire sizes are on the conservative side

the weight difference between an xi and i is very minimal (approx 200 lbs.). This can be the equivilant of a person sitting in the passenger seat. I have eibach springs on my 325xi and it works fine.

Every car is a little different but to give you piece of mind I am running same wheel widths and same tire widths and I am lowered on H&R Sports with no rolling and no rubbing and I am also an xi. The big factor are your offsets.
