no on the tyres, and probably 15mm front and 20/25mm rear adapters.

Depends on how low and camber.

But this is a 255/40 on a 17x9 et22. Just to give you a starting point. Around -3 degrees of camber.

well, depends on camber also and how good the fenders are rolled. Remember that. oh and don't forget spring rates.

my car again with brock b1's 17x10 et15 215/45's. on stock camber arms and springs. Rubbing because of lack of camber and soft spring. rolled fenders but the stock body sealer was not removed.


And here with ac schnitzer 17x10 et19 215/40's. on aftermarket camber arms and springs. very minimal rubbing compared to the other setup but still rubbed because of the lip to fender gap was way lower this time around. Running UUC Camber arms around -6 degrees and a spring rate of 912lbs. And the stock body sealer was removed and then rolled again, gained 10mm of clearance.



And just another one for good measure. badly hammered fenders body sealer not removed. running stock camber arms at around -2ish and 912lbs spring rates. with 17x9 et22 205/40's. same wheels as those bronze that i posted with 255/40's. No rubbing at all.


So going from 205/40's and -2ish camber to 255/40's and -3ish camber and better fender modifications allowed me to get a lot more meat under the arches.
So what i'm trying to say is, it depends on your spring rates, camber and fender modifications. and all of those we don't know what you are running. So be careful when taking advice of the internet, because some size x offset x tire setup might not rub on my car. But on your car it might and visa versa.

go big... 20mm spacer and some 205/40's

or at least a 15mm spacer

[Stanceee]

I have am able to adjust the ride height slightly,

Here is a 10" wheel with +15 offset, no spacer, 215/45R17 that was on the car (you can see where the tire would rub on the fender)

Is your fenders rolled? w/ a softer offset you might not rub w/ the 215's.. +22 or something

You should note that your fenders are pulled.

Yeah, ill get some up in my build thread.v3

Overall, if the tire isn't stretched it seems like a 40 is as tall that an E36 can handle on a 17" wheel. Is that about right?

Nick

No, e36's came with 45 series stock.

hey pm me back i need to know how hard that was to take out the body sealer after you rolled it. cuz my fenders are rolled and i need to take mine out, fenders are too damn thick and my wheels lips rub on the fender!

[Zic]

So your fenders are pulled? How far and do they still rub? Running camber plates or adjustable camber arms?

Thanks
