Hi, I don't know if anyone can help me. I have bought a big brake kit for my E36 328i. It is meant to fit this car with 17" rims. I have a set of 17" rims from an E46, but the calipers seem to clash. Do I or can I change the rims to 18" or would a different style of 17" rims work? I'm stuck. Any help would be very much appreciated. Cheers

You could fit 18's, or perhaps spacers would do the trick. Where is it rubbing?

Hi, thanks for getting back to me. The caliper is much wider, so it clashes with the inside face of the wheel. Sounds like spacers could be the solution, just hope it doesn't push the wheel out so far that it then touches the arches. Should I be looking for a wheel with a different off set? Cheers
