    wheels sticks out

    ok i have a 318is it had original suspension on it from 91 bushings and all ... i had borbets on the car and some spacers and it always seems the driver side wheel stuck out from the fender more so then the passenger side.

    bought all new OEM front end for m3 and put it on the car arms, balljoints, tie rods bushings etc ... switched to 16x8 et 0 ccw wheel. was hoping the new suspension would improve the problem. now it seems it is not as noticeable but i still see it - i rolled my fenders and the ps side is sitting nice under the fender the ds just looks hella flush. i took the car in for alignment both befoe and after i replaced all the parts - car also pulls to the right .

    it is hard to want to continue this build when i have wheel shimmy noticeable at 45 and 65 ....what could the cause of this be - this is a one owner car and the woman bought it new for her husband in 1990 in germany - never been hit service records etc wc also the borbets were true and the ccw wheels are brand new ... please help dont want to throw front coilovers on till its worked out,

    Either something is wrong with that fender or there is damage to the car.

    The pulling to the right could be from problems with the front of the car or it could from rear alignment errors.

        Okay that sounds like an out of balance or out of round wheel, possibly aggravated by worn strut inserts.
