xDrive Alignment - Rubbing on front left fender liner

Hi,

I am not sure why I am rubbing on the front left fender liner only

Mods:

Millway Camber Plates
Koni Sport Shocks + Dinan Springs + F80 Rear Bumpstop, E39 Front Bumpstop
Ohlins R&T (I switch suspension setups when it's spring, summer, track season)

Apex Arc-8 18x8.5 ET38
Hankook Ventus RS-4 245/40/18

Alignment:


I would also like to see your caster specs to see if mine are out of whack

TIA

How close to rubbing is it on the other side? Fender liners may just not be as precisely fitted to the chassis as the wheels are.

I can barely fit a finger on the left side:



For the right side, I can fit 2-3 fingers

Have you measured the wheelbase on each side (centre of front wheel to centre of back wheel with front wheels pointing straight ahead)? It should be within a couple of mm when comparing each side, if not, something is misaligned or bent.
