Hi
Does anyone know what exactly needs modification in order to fit 9j borbet a's, do the arches need flaring etc? Will be really useful if someone who has put them on their e30 ralready could share some light
Cheers

i got 9 j borbs on the rear of my cab, no rubbing but i had the arches rolled during rebuilding. so if you have a low rear end it may rub without arch work.

hi ya i have 9x16 borbets on my e30, its lowered 60mm and I dont get any rubbish issues when its only me in the car but with any more people the rear wheeks scrub very very slightly.............. however i am running stretched 205/45/16 rubber, any wider and it would deffo scrub loads.

fronts dont scrub at all, had to fit 3mm spacers though to clear the calipers
