Rear camber question???

[e30m3ochoa]

Hi, so I have a 91 318i and I need some advice on cambering my rear wheels because they hit the fender on the road. I'm in a budget and I need something that will last me enough to get out of school. I'm not looking for anything high end at the moment just as long as it gets rid of the rubbing and last me about a year or so then that's great. So any suggestions will be welcomed.

I would try to help but I'm a bit lost on why your tires are rubbing. Did you put on wider tires ? Where is it rubbing ?

[e30m3ochoa]

Yeah I put wider tires on the rear. I have 16x9 in the rear. Its rubbing on the top of the rear fender.

Only way to make the rear adjustable are with adjustable trailing arm kits. They are about $100 and need to be welded on. What are your wheel/tire speccs? Have you rolled the rear fenders?

[e30m3ochoa]

Oh really, that's the only way it can be adjusted? Where can I find them? I have esm 002 16x9 offset 15 center bore 57.1

Yes, there is no factory adjustment at all for the rear.

Yes, there is no factory adjustment at all for the rear.

So where can I find the trailing arm kit?

what size tires

[Mr. Tasty]

just roll your fenders, you will gain like 0.5 inch of clearance.

what size tires

They are 225/45 on the rear. Even rolling the fenders isn't enough.

If rolling the fenders isn't sufficient, the choices then are weld in camber toe kits, wheels with different offsets, or more narrow tires. The first option will result in more rapid tire wear from the increased camber necessary for the tires to clear the fenders. The second and third options will certainly work without other adverse effects.

what are your rear spring rates?

Get smaller tires. I run 16×9 -3 in the rear on a 205 40 a nice roll and I don't rub at all no adjusters in the rear

Not really sure the rate of my springs cause I haven't don't anything to the rear since I got the car about a few weeks ago. I might put the sport h&r springs from my other along with sport bilstein shocks.

Oh really, so the tire size makes a difference on that? I had no idea it would prevent from rubbing. So you're pretty much running the same setup as me then.
