I could barely get them on the hub these things fit like a glove but I'm not so sure they're gonna be too easy to pull back off ;)

One question though, has anyone had to run spacers to fit them up front? The clearance is tight and I'm not so sure how well they clear the front strut hat. I'm going to have to seriously roll the front fenders too they're rubbing like crap whenever I hit a bump, this is with 245/40/17 Kumho Ecsta MX.

First problem: Clean the hubs with a wire brush.

Second problem: If they currently don't hit the srtut, they're not ever going to.

Third problem: MXs run wide and are more like a 255/40 on any other tire. A light roll on the rear and you'll be good to go. If it's rubbing on the front, there's not a lot you can do as it's pretty hard to roll a front fender on e36s and get much out of it without tearing the fender apart.

The rear is fine, it's the front where it's rubbing. I forgot to add that the car is dropped on H&R race springs. I've never heard of anyone having problems rolling the front fenders on an E36 are you sure about that?
