So I put the racelands on today, but my 15" bottlecap looking stock wheels are hitting the perch, enough so that it won't roll. I know I need spacers of some sort, but what would you guys reccommend? I'd like to get this done sooner rather than later.
Thanks :)

I reccomend a set of 17x8 et15 BBS RNs... BUT if not, I would go witha 5 or 8mm spacer. :)

You tricky sonovabitch :rofl
So if I were to order some 8mm spacers for the fronts it would most likely solve my problems?
Or maybe 5mm since its like 40 bucks cheaper :shifty

Don't worry, it's gonna trim off the part of the tire you don't need. lol

But it's the wheel, not the tire :(

I would just get cheap, lower offset wheels. Like the 16'' style 5's. Those are dirty cheap and should solve your problem and look 100x better at the same time. ;-)

I want it to be fixed soon though, plus if I got wheels I'd have to buy tires as well. 16"s are in the works though, some of the ones off an E38 hopefully.
Edit. Something like thizzzzz :)

10mm spacers have been ordered, hopefully that fixes the problem.

Yeah, those are the wheels I was talking about. I didn't know what to call them so I just said 16'' style 5's. If anyone knows whether or not those will fit over e36m front brakes, let me know.

Yeah, 10s should fix your problem, I know with my stock wheels and spacers it looked odd, cause my rears were tucked in so far, and my fronts were nearly flush. If you're getting new wheels tho, don't worry about it. BTW thoes look like a good choise.
