8j rim for front and strut housing

[markus_74]

hello,

I just buy 8j rim and 205/55/15 tire, but i now confuse as I think 8j rim is too big for front wheel e30? does is it true?

my friend here said that 7j wheel is best for front wheel and 8j is best for rear wheel?

he said if I install 8j rim with 205/55/15 tire for front wheel it will make my car hadling worst especially if I turn in high speed/.

does is it true?

and I got big problem with my left strut housing, my rim touched it so I should use spacer for it, what I must do?

can I fix it and repair it, may be with heat and bend it?

or just buy another strut housing?

I find this only at my left strut housing and not right.

does is it save to use spacer? Can I use only at front wheel or I should use spacers for all 4 wheel?

Thank you
Markus
