[QUOTE="valkryie, post: 357527, member: 2023"] Sometimes it is not about changing tire sizes. You have to make sure the rims are of the proper specifications. The witdh of the rim, offset, etc. Someone mention fitting a 9.5J rims and this is very wide rim for an E46. Also what about the shock absorbers and springs? Are the worn out? To put this into perspective. I had used 19 inches and have no rubbing issues but one of my bilstein absorbers were damaged and as temporary fix, the workshop put in a used original shock absorbers. I get my rubbing whenever i go through bumps but only on the side that was fitted with the original absorbers. Get the car suspension properly diagnosed by the workshop and make sure your car can accomodate your rim spec. [/QUOTE]
