Tyres rubbing

Recommended Posts

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.

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.....

Don't suppose he cared to mention you would also then need a LVVTA cert for the spacers.

No, no mention of LVVTA....

Looks like an order from the USA, any ideas on shipping cost/time?

You will need a wheel alignment immediately after installing the rack end spacers

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! :rolleyes:
