Inside Clearance Question

Exacc · 03-12-2009, 10:18 AM

So, I ordered Volk wheel for my E46, but sold the car before the rims came. Since its here, and can't sell it for a good price anyway, decided to fit them on to my E92.

Will these results from the calculator fit the car, without rubbing on the inside?

Front as compared to stock 189: 14mm LESS clearance on the strut side, and the outside edge of the wheel will RETRACT 2mm

Rear as compared to stock 189: 21mm LESS clearance on the strut side, and the outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 5mm

I also have a pair of 10mm spacers and a pair of 12mm spacers I removed from my M3...hubcentric with proper bolts. How can I use them? I'm thinking 10mm on the front and the 12mm on the rear.

Front has 42mm, making them 32mm
Rear has 45mm, making them 33mm

Sounds like with the spacers it would work. How wide are the wheels and tires?
