    Tie rod grinding on rim?

    I have a 1997 528i e39 and for some reason the tie rod grinds the rim when making sharp turns. I've replaced the tie rods and nothing has changed. Any ideas?

    What width are your alloys, what size tyres are on them and what's their offset?!

    Sounds to me you've either got oversized alloys/tyres on or they're the wrong offset... Or you've buggered suspension!
