Levi, My first question si why do you think you need to rool the fenders? What size tires are you planning on running? I have a 2005 E46 M3, it sits very low. I am running a 275/40/17. I do have coilovers and it's got a lot of camber.

Don- he has a regular 4 door E46 which is fender challenged even more than my 330Ci. With the correct wheel offset of +45 he can get 255's to work with no roll, but there will be some rubbing as Tony experienced in his. Even rolled, I am not sure you can get 265's on without catching the inner fender some. Tire to tire differences will affect this also. I know that some autocrossers have gotten a 285 on the back, but not without a lot of work and if you don't have that size on the front, it is worthless anyway.

I rolled mine the old fashioned way...by having the tires rub at the track. remember also that I had to raise up the coilovers after removing the rear bar because of the rub. I am as low as I can make the car and not rub all the time. Now only a bit of noise in the last corner of GingerMan (at the dip), and that is the only place so I don't worry about it anymore. But I do have a big shiny metal spot on the inner fender where the tire has rubbed all the paint off.

I couldn't stop laughing. My favorite part is when the parents come home and want in the driveway. We should rent a van for Chicago this weekend and DO THIS!

been super busy and have not had a chance to log in here. I am not going to be lowering my car this summer =( i have other things that have come up that i am going to take care of. Some bills are more important than coilovers/lowering springs. I plan on lowering it but its not going to happen as quick as i would like though
