What brackets have you welded on? My E46 clubsport rack bolts perfectly into the E30 subframe without the need for any welding just the spacers... sorry can't remember the thickness

iirc 14mm spacer between the rack and the top and bottom bracket for the rack - but if you have cut those off and welded other brackets on then - what are you asking about!!!!

Don't quite get the point of this either tbh

But if you hadn't molested the e30 subframe or brackets you would need 14mm spacers as said above,
but if you've welded e46 brackets to your subframe then I'd say no spacer would be needed!
