Somebody i know had problems when upgrading to a larger wheel size and he used a hot air gun / paint stripper and the rounded end of a baseball bat to ease the wheel arch liner back in the areas where it was rubbing.

if you can get away with it, its a better alternative to just cutting the liner.

No, it was an E85 front. they were affected on full lock. all my friend did was deal with the liners on the car and worked on the areas which were being rubbed by the tyres. no guess wrk really!

also, if you cut the liners, make sure that the tread cant grab the liner as it will whip it out and on to the floor like a flash.
 
Thanks very much guys :thumbsup:
The car is really comming together

i am keeping the 326 wheels and tyres as the car might be handed back after the deal.

cheers
 
I love those wheels :wub:

It's a little low for my taste, but doesn't make me want to hurl :D
 
It looks like the cartoon pic on the top left of the forum page! 8)
The wheels look great with the red, but I would have gone with 19" IMHO :oops:
 
looks great but the wheels look overly busy for me..... put the 19's back on, it will look meaner :D
 
Vertini monaco's, getting them from a supplier in France, but have gone for 19s in a bright silver rather than 20s. I was at Top gear live yesterday and saw a similar wheel from IForged.

A beautiful painting deserves a proper framing. Same for cars really...

Awesome wheels making your car totally stand out from the crowd! :thumbsup:
 
Looks great and I see you only live down the road from me so hopefully i'll spot you out and about and see those rims in the flesh.

Really looks the biz chum excellent :thumbsup:

I was going to ditch the runflats and put on a set of PSS but they don't do them in OEM sizes for the 326s.

It's away next week for the winter anyway so not bothered for now.
 
That`s to bad r1andy :( You are selling them already!!! I think its not just the Breyton wheels that are the problem here. The Falken FK453 tires are wider than any other tire I have seen. I compared my 285 Falken rear tire with a Michelin PS2 305 tire, and they was just as wide. So I think the Falkens are wider than they should be!!!!

Have this feeling of that its my fault you bought them :( Lucky for you, there are some really nice original wheel on your car, but the Z4 really needs 20" :? Maby the perfect size should have been 19,5" :D
