Anyways, upon install for the front wheel well arches did you cut into the chassis back well to make room for turning radius , or did you just run the car with caution not to turn the wheels to full lock position?
This guy here claimed on his M3 LB kit install he shredded his tires leaving the shop that installed his kit !

So I'm wondering if with your build did you run into the same concern considering you used an e92 335i chasis to do this build?
I'll say this much as for my self . I'm runny 18x10 in front 0ET (285-30-18) with 20mm spacers. When I turn my wheels toward full lock the outer most side hits the metal well arch in back ( lower rear rocker area inside wheel well ) . To counter this measure , and just for pure functionality I went and bought some cheap coil overs , but I'm going to run Vorshlag Caster/Camber plates to see if the caster adjustment will give me clearance to get to full lock ability.
Any feed back or tips is greatly appreciated! Merry X-mas !  |

To answer your question, yes all of these widebody e90s E9Xs require some cutting and welding on the cabin side, in the front. Otherwise you won't be able to turn to full lock. IMO since you need to cut and weld up and seal the whole quarter panel "arch" on both sides, (at least I assume everyone is doing this!) then the front clearance-ing is nothing too challenging for someone who knows how to weld.
