    That seam midway through the brand name is like a flap where the inner fender has cut into the side wall lol. It has since been beaten in with a hammer.

    Haha thanks guys for the advice , greatly appreciated.

    Its been about like 1-2 weeks and i have noticed that i rubbed down the tire soo much that it barely rubs and just like RedE46Bimmer said .. i got used to the sound so it really doesn't bother me BUT im still going to possibly roll my fenders for the time being and then i am getting coil-overs since i would not mind raising the car a little for the winter.

    Raise the car. Throw in some springs pads or something to bring it up.

    Get camber plates or modify your struts to get a little camber.
    This.

    Anytime the wheel or tire is flush with the fender and you're low, you'll need either camber and/or stretch to compensate, otherwise you'll run the risk of crunching the fender.

    Rubbing Fenders

    So i have a 1992 BMW 325i . The car is completely fine besides my front tires rubbing my fenders on turns. I want to roll my fenders but dont really have the money for that. Im saving fo coil-overs so i can buy them by december.

    I have my car lowered around 2" and its sitting on 18x8 BBS Lm Reps with a et38. My tires are 225/40/18 and my rear is rub free but the front is really annoying especially with a passenger.

    Any Suggestions on what i should or could do about my front fenders or suspension set-up, for the time being before i get coil overs?
