The BBS's on my car seem to have centering problems. They have E36 fitment, ET38 18*8.5" and have no wheel spacers or any rubbing issues.

I have jacked the car up and spun the front wheels and you can see that the wheel is not centered by referencing the distance between the tire and spring perch. There is one high point where the distance is larger and the rest is relatively constant. Im going to assume this is what causes the slight wheel wobble the car has around 80-85mph.

The wheels were checked recently and are not out of round. I thought that these BBS's would not require any hub-centric rings or adapters to work on the E36? Any input would be great.

Called BBS... wheels were specifically made for the E36 so centering the wheel isnt the issue. Plus I tried seeing if I could shimmy the wheel around while on the hub and it doesnt budge.

I guess the run-out is due to my tires, time for road-force balancing. Seems to be my last shot, otherwise I have bent wheels which is very hard to believe.
