Guys can i ask you all something..

I had previously Bbs lm reps on my e92 335d.
They were 19" with 8.5 on the fronts and 9.5 rears and no rubbing with the spacers i currently have. (Car is lowered on h&r sport springs)

I sold those alloys and bought bmw 313 reps from ********.
Again 19" and same offsets, however the rear is rubbing when i go over bumps! What do i do? And although same size as my old wheels, these wheels do look like the rears stick out much more then my previous set.

What is the solution? Run the alloys with no spacers on the rears?

I'd certainly check the offsets and widths to confirm. If the same then you shouldn't have any issues but certainly sounds like the offset on the rears is lower and causing the rims to protrude more than your previous set.

As a temp solution yes just remove the spacers.

What size spacers are you running?

[abeardo83]

sounds to me like the offsets are different.

[Aragorn30d]

if the rears are sticking out more, the offset has to be different or the wheel is wider.

Reduce the rear spacing until they're sitting the same as the old ones did!

Have the rear arches rolled. I had the same issue and got this done. Actually, only a small area towards the rear of the arch needed to be rolled.

If you take the wheel off and look inside the arch you'll see evidence of the rubbing which will show you which bit needs to be rolled.

How much was this if you don't mind me asking? Thinking of having my rears done as I've got a new set of wheels on the way at weekend

Update
Late reply due to work reasons, but i finally had a chance to jack up the car, remove the wheels an take the spacers off the rears.

To my suprise it doesnt look too bad without them and the rubbing has completly stopped aswell

Sorry, so long ago I can't recall. Not a huge amount as I remember. Your main issue will be finding someone who can do it for you!

Thanks Russ, over an hour away from their nearest guy, going to try and find someone more local I think

Fair enough. They're mobile though?
