Hi all, I have just got a set of new (old) alloy wheels for my E30. They are MIM 1900 with almost new Yokos all round. My problem is the MIMs have a greater offset than the BBS x spooked ones on the car at the moment. I think it is because of the offset that one of the rears rubs the inside of the rear arch.

I'd like to try swapping the Yokos onto the BBS and the Kuhmos onto the MIMs. That would be 8 wheels to have the tyres changed.

Can anyone recommend somewhere I could get this done in Edinburgh area for reasonable prices / cash?

Ta

Here are some photos with the MIMs on it.

Try getting the inside lip of your arch rolled in a little? Prob cost the same as swapping tyres and balancing etc?

I think that is the other option but it seams a shame to bend a perfectly good 23 year old arch just to fit a tyre under! Thanks for the reply tho!
