e90 non M rear subframe brace, e90 M equivalent?

[bantam]

In my quest for maximum tire, I have taken things a bit to the extreme in terms of rear tire size (275/45/18 MT S/S), and found that when my suspension is uncompressed, my rear tire rubs on find number 6, the "Push rod left, and Push Rod right".

I tried searching to find what the e90 M equivalent component was to see if that would buy me more room, but I actually do not see an equivalent part on the diagram on realOEM.

Does anyone know if there is an M equivalent to the part, and if so, does it offer more tire clearance and bolt up to the non-Ms? Has anyone cut theirs up for clearance or made a custom one?

Damn! That's a lot of tire

Not sure on part, plenty were shared between the chassis'... Could you run spacers to clearance out?

Basically it is already rubbing the fender (after rolling them) to space it out, I would be looking at some body cutting.

With the help of a vendor, the M part is Body strut, 51618040752, but it does not visibly appear to have much more curvature to give more room for tire.

I dont think it would be hard to make a custom rod mount stronger than the current stamped piece. Go custom

I was just going to say the same thing. Might be a PITA finding the right shop but it should be definitely be doable.

Maybe have a few made and if they sell it pays for itself? You can't be the 1st to run up against that.

Did you ever solve this? Looking to throw some 275/45/18 on my e92 335is just for track use

just for interest sale i know your profile is meatier, but i run a 285/35/19 on the rear of my E92,
I had plenty touching, more so the actual fender,
i went and sourced a set of E93 Msport rear Springs, due the much heavier rear, it lifted the the back a good 8mm just from the springs, i thought id have to roll fenders, but there was no need after the spring swap, and ive never touched since,
i cant say if it will help your issue, but a thought...

Since the tires were still rubbing the fender despite my best efforts, I figured that replacing that brace was not really going to help, so I just sold the tires and bought smaller ones

What size did you go with?
