Guys,

Just bought myself a weekend toy for a bit of a project (BM 540i) which has been fited with 18's from a curent E60.

It has the following tyre sizes

Front - 245/40/18
Rear - 275/35/18

The car appears to drive alright, however on full lock the fronts catch the inner arch liners can I just remove the liners to sort it ? looking on the net it appears these wheels are supposed to fit without adaptors (as they are) so are you just supposed to put up with it catching ?

Cheers
Paul

I'll have to find out this for sure, as I have a suspicion it has a moody MOT

If I went to VOSA about this test station, they'd only say that these wheel weren't on at time of test though surely ?
