depending on what you have wedged in there you might get away with trimming the plastic tabs where the rear bumper meets the wheel arch.

thats where mine rubs with a full load of ppl, just about worn it off now :)

Don't want to throw a cat amongst the pigeons so to speak but man there are some stupid comments on this thread.

The wheels on the rear are 10" wide, designed for an E36/E46 application. They are massive wheels and need flaring - not just rolling.

Need to get the rear guards on the e36 slighty flared :D

:P

Most people will be, at the start including me, replying to your 'slightly flaring' comment.

Now we see what you want to do. Plasma cut and weld on some bad ass flares is your only real option. Not sure what flares myself, but a good fabricator could make you some to your specs.

That would be a nice touch.

It will be tricky tie-ing some wide arches in since it's a 4dr and you don't have much space to transition them before the door.

Good luck, post pics!!!

Besides, if you can fit 18x10.5" with 285/30 Hoosier on a E30 with only rolling/pulling the guards, I'm sure you can make something work on the e36!!

mmmmm Mike Akard's monster 318iS. Loving his Euro Evo motor.

I'm pretty sure it's a S54B32 from a Mcoupe (US Spec). Not a S50B32.

But V.Kewl either way!!!

So do you guys reckon i can fit 19" rims that are 9.5 wide on the back and 8.5 on the front without having to modify the body of an E36? thats been droped down to 80mm?

35 profile tire or less???

Cheers!
