My E36 project

Love the RFs... I recently picked up a set in the same sizes, mine need quite some work though... still, the RFs are awesome wheels.

Looks good! Some dialing in of your suspension and that will be really baller.

they look nice mate! post up a side on shot so i can get a good look

[Young1]

took a few more pics today. hopefully this will give u a better idea of the current fitment. Im going to be takeing the wheels off today so i can drive normally again. the tires are getting too damged at the moment. will be lowering the car about 30mm at the back and im gonna order some adjustable camber tops and camber arms off the net. when ive got these on the car ill put the wheels back on.

love the wheels
what is the offset?

[Mexican]

Are your arches rolled? Also. Have the car tracked with max natural camber front and back! That will sort most of your problems out.

You last issue is the offset on the wheels, I'm willing to put money on the rear offsets being wrong! My 10s et15 don't poke that much. Your wheels would have been et13 on the 8.5s as stock. But adding an inch to the dish means loosing 12mm off your ET. So you are looking at et1 probably.

I havnt rolled the arches yet. its hard to make them any better on the front. im gonna try tho. what do you mean by "Have the car tracked with max natural camber"? can i camber it more without modding?

Im not sure about the offsets. u could be right, ill have to measure it.

thanks for the advice. much appreciated

Can't you use washers at the bottom of the front struts where they bolt to the hubs to increase camber? And on the rear, I think there's a couple of degrees of adjustability in the lower wishbone isn't there?

[Mexican]

Yeah oem arm will give like 2degs plus lowering should give another 1deg.

At the front the camber bolt maxed out should be enough. But if not 2 washers will do the trick. But arch rolling is the main problem. They really need to be flat back. Then you should be able to take an inch off the height with no issues.

[Stance l Works]

All complete a nice size ...

[Young1]

So I know it's been a long time coming but I finally got some camber and an extra inch lower at the back. I ended up getting a camber kit and got the adjusters taken out of my coils to get the extra lows.



The car feels a lot better to drive now that its leveled out. Now i just need some camber on the front.



Ill post some more pics when the weathers nice

Getting there !! car looks great, rear fitment looks good !
just a litlle camber in the front and your there !!

[Dr.AK]

Rear and looks great, now get the front dialed in and this will be really proper!

Or just install inverted 3.2 M3 top hats for more camber and you can run these sizes with no fender mods at all and still be very low. I should know, that's what I did, haha.

On this, I'd have to say you're wrong. I'm 100% sure those are genuine RF011s in 9.5x17 ET13 - I run the same specs in the rear. He's got a 2.5 inch outer lip, which came stock on the RF011. They do poke that much! This was before my arches were pulled and camber was dialed in:

Thanks for the comments. I'm gonna hop on eBay sometime soon and look for some camber tops. I'll look into those m3 tops. Thanks for the advice Dr.

[Wout CSL]

Looking good Young1, the rear is nicely tucked! Keep it up!

The parts numbers are 31 33 2 227 897 and 31 33 2 227 898. They are excentric and the way they are supposed to be mounted they give you less negative camber, but if you simply mount them inverted (i.e. mount the drivers side one on the passenger side), you get way more negative camber... i have about -4° up front.
