As for the front youll have to remove the fender liner and roll the fronts and remove the little vent shaped piece that comes off the front bumper. Zero rub on 10xdub.
    I just got back from out of town I'm gonna get back at it tomorrow, this sounds interesting do you have pictures?

    Running the same wheels with 225/40 and 255/35 Pirelli P-zero. 15mm and 12mm spacers. No rubbing at stock height. Had rubbing with 235/40 in the front

    The one thing with running these wheels is you MUST order custom bolts from RAD. 12mm bolt with a 14mm ball seat.

    I have the rad bolts and Im already running adapters and spacers the front doesn't really rub I think there 245/35/18 I'll double check but the turn all the way without hitting the only thing is I need to take off the plastic covers because you could hear ot touch sometimes

    zing!

    not sure what's going wrong. stock E55 rims should fit a stock 202 like a glove. maybe you're too low?

    Sounds good to me, I think I might try smaller tires though first there's some hancooks 225/40/r18 all 4 for 160 or dunlops performance tires for same price same size, although I think my set up that I have now will be fine if I do what you just said. I love just looking at it it's soo beefy and aggressive with the huge spacers and adapters

    He is working with w140 monoblocks and not w210(e55) ones hence the spacer and clearance issues.

    Even with the w210 monoblock I had to file away some material from that exact piece of molding on the backside. It doesn't take much to get it to clear. You are now dealing with production tolerances as I had to file my 94 but not my 96.

    Mines a 96, although my 97 has 18s and it's dropped and has never had an issue. Very tricky.
    On another note has anyone had headliner work done? Or replaced it themselves I don't mean to jump around I know I should do one thing at a time but I have a feeling I'm going to resolve this rubbing issue soon and already thinking about what's next

    I couldn't check it because it wasn't listed anywhere on the rim but I think everything is now successfully equipped now
    Thank you all for the help

    fix rubbing issues??? what tire size are you using?

    and are you asking how much to refinish wheels? my guesstimate is 150-250 a wheel.

    if you want to not rub, notch down your rear tires to 235 or even 225.... that should fix your problem... if you want you can even go to 215s...

    i have 225 rears and 215 fronts currently
