I have a line on a set of BBS RK 2piece wheels with 32backspace not 38 like tire race suggest's i figure the 6mm diffrence will be fine....Anyone have an E36 chassis car running 32et wheels??

I need to know asap...

It will be close to the fender. What size tires are you wanting to run because anything over a 235 will rub like a bitch

Only one way to find out ;)

I had et35 18x8.5 w/ 235/40/18 all around on my e36 and the fenders are FLAT like you say, but it was close.

YUP! I figure for 750 dollars with tires Its a good deal since new they run 2400!!! If there is enough metal on the backside I could alway have them machined down to 38/40backspace...
