to run massive spacers. I personally don't like running really large spacers, and lug bolts, but that is your decision. I really can't tell you what spacer size you need unless you tell me the offset of the E36 wheels. But here again I must advise you. If you are running the same size wheel and tire on the front and rear then you should run the same size spacer. If you do not, then when you start to push the car, its handling characteristics will be severely different. The only time I suggest running different offsets front and rear is if you are running a staggered wheel setup like my Hartges. Hope this helps a little.

Hello all I am new to this post. I have just received a set ofe36 15X7 wheels with 205 60 tires for my 528e(E28). The tires are rubbing on the front strut. I know I need Spacers but I am not sure what size to buy. Has anyone done this before? what size spacers do you have or I will need? will I need them in the rear? I was told that I will need 15mm front and 10mm rear that dose not sound right. Plaese Help.

Peter
