Hi guys,

Asking yet another question...
Bought some 15"x7" BMW E30 BBS alloys yesterday, they fit and look awesome, can't drive it though!
I've got a 80/60mm lowered K11 and wondering if anyone knew how easy and costly it would be to solve the rubbing??? ...new smaller wheels a better option???

What size tyres are on them and where are they rubbing?

 

[Squizza]

195/50R size tyres...
there rubbing on upper part of all arches, so probs would how to roll and that it be costly unless someone could do it for cheaps...
then on the back part of the front inside arches there also rubbing!

 

[karlj]

Can't you get a lower profile tyre? you could diy roll your arches mckenziecz has an arch roller for rent

 

[Squizza]

I've being told that you can't... if anyone else knows then the info would be greatly accepted!
and you see when it comes to cosmetics it scares me a little, are they almost just about fool prove???
cheers

 

[karlj]

You could get 195/45 and your best bet is to ask him, they look fairly fool proof

 

[karlj]

Or if you want some stretch 165/50

 

[Squizza]

Thats great cheers, just a shame wi tyres 3 outta 5 are just about brand new continentals
but I'll message him cheers

 

[karlj]

Sell the continentals and put the money towards new tyres

 

[Squizza]

now stretch, is it safe and what about road handling and all that... cos I do like havin fun on the corners!

P.S hell don't I sound like a newbie

sounds like a idea, cos the allys are really nice don't want to really have to sell, but tyres could go

 

[karlj]

As long as you don't go to far stretch is perfectly safe (not my thing though)

 

[Squizza]

not particually mine but if it meant the allys fit yes! haha

i had this prob with my ronals 15"x7 with 165/55's
the fronts were fine but the back rubbed too much

 

[Squizza]

Seriously considering rolling all arches and removing front inner arches
