Stancing BMW E36

[Master P]

Hello there guys and girls!

First post up on here, so I hope this is the right section (apologise if not!). Right I'm in the middle of stancing my BMW e36 saloon on a budget, but I am having some trouble with rubbing.

My setup:

- Cheap eBay coilovers
- Rear sits without adjuster cups
- Front has recently been hired about 6/7mm from full slam

- Wheels ( Not sure on the make of them, but they look like BMW style 42 reps)
- 8.5j all round
- ET40 all round
- Front has 5mm spacers to clear coilovers

The problem I am having is when I drive around a corner that has a slight bump the front wheels hit the arch. I think it might be the plastic lining, not 100% sure. However, I've seen people with wider/more aggressive ET and they don't seem to have issues.

What would be the best plan of action? I would really like to deck the front a little more too! I'm new to all this so sorry if this sounds like a stupid dilemma I find myself in!

I should add I can't really fork out to get the arcches rolled being a student.

Thanks!

I should have said the wheels are 18x8.5 all around, with 225/40/R18 tyres all around!

i had a similar issue with 18's on my 36. it was rubbing against the inner splash guard. just keep going or cut it out, it'll only wear through the plastic eventually anyway. The 36's don't really like any wheels above 17" for guard clearance unfortunately.
Post up some pics so we can all see where you're at!

Cheers P3Z for the reply!

Sorry for the late reply! I've been really busy with college work lately! I have some what sorted the problem. But it should be completely gone as I am hopefully swapping my wheels for a set of AC Schnitzer type 2s (17x8.5 et13). I plan to piece together a build thread once my exams are over so look out for that!
