BMW E36 Forum

does anyone know where i can get longer axels for my bmw because i wnat to put big wheel arches on, and the wheels to come out to.

I wouldn't change the axle, go for wheel spacers. You put them on the wheel hub then attach your wheel to the spacer/ They're usually done in incriments of 5mm and go up to 25mm, anything wider than that and you will have to get them specially made. Expect to pay about €100 for 4 20mm spacers. Im not certain of the width tolerance in an e36 but id say its about 240mm. So in an example, you could have a 220mm wide wheel and fit a 20mm spacer. Im not sure of the max distance so just check before committing to buy.
