Did you just use a wire brush to polish them?

Have you had any problems with wheel bearings? How uniform is the tire wear? How did you paint the plastic center covers?

I'm getting a set of these tonight. Did you need to run any spacers in the front to clear the struts? Thanks in advance.

The offset is already super low on these, running spacers would make things worse.

So then are they are direct fit? That is my question. I can just slap them on w/o any issues? I will be running 205/50/16's.

Thanks

They are not technically direct fit. If you have a drop you may need to roll the fenders. Stock E36 offset is around ET45.

Thanks for the info. I will let you know how it goes. I'm dropped on Racing Dynamics springs from Mavrix (1.2 back, 1.5 front) and the rubbers will be 205/50/16.
