i have an 01 e46 coupe w/ 18" breyton visions...im running the 18x9.5 wheels w/ so3's(255/35) in the rear. i just installed the eibach pro system plus and am getting rubbing in the rear. i have already rolled the fenders, and still get a little rubbing...is there a "skinnier" tire size i could go with; or should i consider the 18x8.5 rear wheels? :dunno:

Most 245/35R18 tires can be mounted on 9.5" wheels, it just won't leave much protection for curbing of the wheels.

If they are hitting on the fender, you could try using a bit more negative camber in the alignment.
