Palazzo 427 Report post Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) I have an E36 coupe with staggered M Contours, fitted with correct size (225/45/17, 245/40/17) tyres. Today the WOF man advised me that the fronts are rubbing on full lock (just, which I new). He advised me that spacers may be needed, which sounds like a solution to a problem which shouldn't exist. Any ideas on why I am getting rubbing (is there an M3 suspension component I'm missing) or what to do? Cheers. Edited March 12, 2012 by Palazzo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Palazzo 427 Report post Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) Width, 7.5 and 8.5. Offset, no idea, they're factory wheels so whatever that is. Will have to check whereit's rubbing, I assume on the inside edge, but we all know what assumption is..... Edited March 12, 2012 by Palazzo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't suppose he cared to mention you would also then need a LVVTA cert for the spacers. +1 +2 (Have a set in my E30) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Palazzo 427 Report post Posted March 13, 2012 No, no mention of LVVTA.... Looks like an order from the USA, any ideas on shipping cost/time? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cliffdunedin 8 Report post Posted March 14, 2012 Sorted. $48 from the dealers. Cheers. Was that for the steering rack stop? I bought one online for my last e36 and it cost about $60NZ inc post - Didn't even think of the dealer, doh! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
