[QUOTE="E34EuroTouring, post: 67838, member: 1026"] It should be be rubbing on one side and not the left side. When was the last time the shocks are being replaced. It could be that the shocks are work more on one side than the other. As for fender rubbing, it depends on the offset ET. For 17 inch rims the ET should be ET13 and also depends on the width of the rim. You said using 255/40/17 and the fenders are not rolled before, then it appears that your ET would be at least 13 or close to it. Have you check that the rear bump stops are OK ?. If you are bottoming out, the bump stop should limit the suspension travel. If it has been cut or is disintegrating, then it would not limit the bottoming out. You should be using 235/45/17 tires becuase that is the factory spec diameter to ensure that your speedo is accurate!. Rdgs. [/QUOTE]
