Date: Sat, 17 Mar 2001 08:32:31 -0500 From: "Ron Katona" <rkatona@bellatlantic.net> Subject: Re: Front tires rubbing strut housing Dave, Assuming you're getting the camber from camber plates, reducing camber there won't help since the wheel and strut will move in unison in camber. The only real fix is to move the wheel rim outward away from the strut: bigger spacer or new wheels. Didn't think so. <g> You could try the camber correction bolts from the dealer. Install those, pull out some camber by tilting the wheel away from the strut, tighten down the camber correction bolts, then add back in the lost camber at the camber plate. Remember to check these bolts frequently as they have been known to slip... some people deliberately overtorque them and even paint over them to keep them stable. -- Ron Katona David Hogg wrote: > I need some assistance, please.

This car is in excellent condition. It has never been abused, never seen the track, and has only seen a snowy road once in it's life (got surprised). It has literally been used as a commuter car over the last three years bombing up and down Rt. 80 on my 64 mile RT daily commute (actually kinda sad). Hell, I think I made it 42,000 miles on the original MXX3s!! The only thing this car needs is it's spring detailing. Contact: Tim 201.358.1404 (H) 973.967.6679 (W) timmy@cybernex.net

The 5mm spacers are not hubcentric and you might have a hard time getting the front wheels not to vibrate. So you might have to end up getting 10mm spacers from places like Steve D anyway. That should clear your front tire rubbing the strut problem =) Chester --- David Hogg <springwood@blazenet.net> wrote: > Date: Sat, 17 Mar 2001 07:22:41 -0800 > From: "David Hogg" <springwood@blazenet.net> > Subject: Front tires rubbing strut housing > > I need some assistance, please.

#8. Pirelli 210 Asimmetrico 225/45R17 - from Paul Elliott
Top
Date: Sat, 17 Mar 2001 10:28:36 -0500 From: "Paul Elliott" <pelliott@rcn.com> Subject: Pirelli 210 Asimmetrico 225/45R17 Pavel, >>my Pirelli 210 Asimmetrico 225/45R17 tire. I looked and called everywhere (tirerack.com, discount tire, etc.), and no one has the Asimmetricos in this size. << I quite agree with you about these tires...I got my set of 225/45-17s 2 winters ago, and I still have 7/32 tread left...I use them here in Northern Metro NY from mid December through early March. I took 'em off last weekend. Anyway, I find them to be every bit as good on the dry as any all season performance radials I've tried over the years, while allowing me to compete with the SUVs in the white stuff. I dont understand why Pirelli discontinued the 225 size in favor of the 215, but it makes it problematic for us M3 owners. And if we want to continue with a similar tire from Pirelli, its got to be the Winter 240 SnowSport. Which of course is tread incompatible with our Asymetricos. So, I guess, the answer is to rotate every season to even out the wear, since you cant replace them in pairs, and when theyre gone, just chuck the set...Of course, if you break one like you did, well, it certainly creates a problem. Good Luck. _____________________ Paul Elliott '99 Alpine White M3 <30000 mi Forged M dbl-spokes; Rotex pads; Dinan Stage II Supercharger; Stygar Short Shift kit and Clutch Stop; Skaggs Pedals; X-brace; Sound by Kenwood Excelon, Polk, JL Audio

Orchard Supply Hardware and Home Depot both sell a black high-heat (barbeque, etc.) paint (I think it's Rustoleum) that can easily stand the heat of the M3's brakes.
