These push the wheel more forward in the wheel well right? I almost rub the front of the fender lining stock, if thats the case I will have to get the centered CAB's I guess...

Yup.
With my et22 225's, I don't rub at full lock. How much room do you have?

I'll check again later, but its pretty frickin close.Comment

I rub the front fender liners at full lock, but it's really no big deal. the plastic isn't going to hurt your tires and you'll never be at full lock at high speed..Comment

That is why we take out the fender liners... :roll:

Yeah, mine used to rub at full lock with centred CABs. I just got a heat gun and heated up the plastic fender liners and reshaped them a bit, which fixed the rubbing.
I put in offset CABs yesterday. Haven't driven the car yet cos I'm getting my bumpers resprayed, but the tyres do touch the liners at full lock. Wheels/tyres are ET28 205/50/16.

Full lock will be the only problem. I don't recomend taking out the fender liners though, they serve aero and body protection puposes.Adam Fogg- '88 M3

You guys do recommend the offset CAB's over the centered ones though right?Comment

More caster creates better high speed stability. However, I've heard they can make the car tail happy, but I've never experienced this.
I have them but have never had rubbing problems with my 205/50/15 but I run a lot of camber which may be why they don't rub. Depending on where you are, the liners can be a good thing. Here in New England, I wouldn't want to take them out only because I think it would make for a rusting problem very quickly. If not here, I may remove them for no other reason that weight savings.Driving is the only way to go faster....Comment

I have plenty of high speed stability, I am more worried to which would be better suited for autocross usage.Comment

Get them. Offset aside, they are solid unlike the standard ones and have a better overall feel.Adam Fogg- '88 M3

Agreed. More caster will also increase your steering effort- I've always felt the e30 came "overboosted" when it came to it's power assist, so the caster is a good thing. I run 7* + on my ti.Originally posted by AdamF 88iS
