One wheel sticking out more
Hi all,
So I just got a a bigger set of wheels and tires on my car and noticed that that rear right wheel sticks out a little more than the left which is completely flush with the fender. It's been a while since I got an alignment can that be an issue? The last set of tires has more wear on one side as well. Didn't notice any differences with the last set as they were stock 225/255 sizes. The new set is 235/265. I did some research and found on some E90 forums that the issue could be a misaligned subframe but my car hasn't been in an accident or anything. Any help would be appreciated. |

I checked out the fronts too and it does seem like the front right is slightly more out than the left. Checked the space between tire and fender and I can get 2 fingers in all the wheels except rear right so possible suspension issue?

Silly idea, are those stock or aftermarket wheels?
If aftermarket, grab a ruler and maybe measure two things... 1. The width of the rim 2. The offset of the hub I'm kind of leaning toward #2. You might've gotten a rear set of rims with one rim being a different offset than the other. |

Hey were you ever able to find the issue I just got some apex arc 8s on my f32 and I have the exact same issue, and I had an alignment done as well I checked the specs on the wheels and the offsets are correct

I had this on my 435. Left rear stuck out more than right (and it had less camber). I noticed it after a tire swap. Took it in and they did an alignment to fix it. I will note the tech said he had to do more than the standard simple alignment tweaks to fix it…but I don’t know exactly what that entailed.
