Does anyone know if the M3 tracking arms (Ali) are longer to compensate for the wider track or is it the hub ?

I'm considering fitting the M3 bushes to a standard setup but have been looking at the spacing of the wheel in the arch and don't think it's going to work

all the e30 ffront control arms are the same, the ali ones are not worth the money in my opinion. I have fitted M3 control bushes and its fine.

the wheels might rub a touch on full lock thats all. If your running bmw wheels of somekind with correct offset.
But thats nothing for the gain in handling!

The trouble is mine already rubs on full lock and i'm wondering if the E36 M3 ones that Brian mentioned (solid standard ones) would be just as good or would the gain be purely from increasing the castor with the E30 M3 bushes ?
I'm wondering if the offset ones are like that just because the M3 has a wider track

any extra width in the m3's track comes from the hubs
