[QUOTE="valvetronix, post: 737968, member: 25563"] Hi bro, Where did they install the rubber bushing and why is it being added there? To increase the ride height? Last time I used to run 18s on my E36, the rear right wheel tend to rub under hard cornering. The car was pretty low though as it was on B12, rims were BBS RC302 (8.5j 32et 225/40/18). I could get away by rolling rear fenders but chose not to, in the end decided to put on back my M-contours and problem solved. The car drives way much better too. I assume your bushes are in good nick, what you can do is roll the fenders first as its relatively cheap to do. This should give you ample clearance. Mind sharing your current suspension & rims setup? If your offset is too aggressive I guess theres nothing much you can do. [/QUOTE]
