@ ET35, 235/40/19 will not have any interference issues, even if you're lowered.

I just checked and the KW V1 lowering range is as follows...Range of lowering is 1.2-2.3" in the front and 0.9-2.1" in the rear.

i'd probably start at 25mm rear and 35mm front, check appearance and adjust as desired.

I can't imagine any issues with wear. I've been running a square 245/40 18" setup for three years and the handling and stability is awesome. That's as wide as I could go with my 8.0" wide wheels. If I get new wheels, they will be 8.5" and I'll run square 255 tires.

One thing that I really like about a square setup is that I rotate them front to back so that they wear evenly. My current set is almost worn out and they are all perfectly even right across the tread. Performance tires aren't cheap. I've really gotten my money's worth and I've enjoyed consistent performance and safety throughout their entire lifespan.

(Bmw 340i on h&r sport springs) I tried to fit 245/40/19 on 19x8.5 et35 wheel in the front and the tire was hitting the spring perch… not sure if I should get a spacer or have to get new front tires, if so what do you guys recommend?
