yea only thing is his shocks arent valved properly to support the rates, like i said i switched over to konis so hopefully the new rates will do the trick

You could cut your inner fender lip to get a little more clearance as opposed to a roll.
And a quick question for the OP, when you rolled your fenders, did you grind that black shit out from the inside of the inner fender lip? I rolled my fenders with that in place and couldn't get it nearly as far as I could have if I ground it out, but I didn't know that at the time. I later saw a thread on BF.C with pictures of someone who ground theirs out before a roll and I wu lii FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUULast edited by Morbid; 02-17-2010, 12:09 AM.

thanks for the input though guys
I don't even know how you got 235's on there with that offset. I have 9.5 +17 on my rear with 215/40's and it looks like if I had 225/40's on there it would be rubbing while standing still.

Your tires are the issue if you have a proper setup in the back. I'm assuming Koni 1225SPGCs in the back with your 700lb springs?
If not, get proper shocks. If so, its your tires. Most people running a fitment that aggressive in the back of an e36 are at 17x10 et20 which is 2mm different in offset, a completely negligible amount in this case. On those 10Js they run 225/40s or 215/45s in most cases. Sometimes 215/40s.
You say its not your tires, but you really should swap them out. You're killing your clearance back there.... if you have the above shock setup and 700lb springs you really shouldn't be having issues.Last edited by M.Burroughs; 02-20-2010, 02:12 AM.

I`m very possibly wrong on this but I`m looking for a staggered set of style 5`s myself for an e36 and thought the rears were 9j when I was wondering what tyre combo`s I`ll be looking at, to get them to fit.
BTW, if I remember correctly your car is the one with the turquoise lips...lovely car man, it`s so evil looking.
