I only rubbed on o e side at a time, on full compression, you may be lucky

sorry about the noob question, what is "full compression test"? I'm interested in getting either 12mm or 15mm. haven't decided yet. TIA

I believe 15mm in the rear would be fine as long as your suspension is stock. If it is dropped, 12mm in the rear would be best.

What I meant was, you cannot do a full suspension compression just by say driving at an angle over a speed bump or driveway entrance. The rubbing only showed when taking a big road dip in a high speed corner under full throttle. The car was fine in casuaatl driving otherwise. But it did rub occasionally, sufficiently hard to shave a sliver of expensive PS2.

Cars can be a little different is all I'm saying, and just because you can drive away fine doesn't mean it won't rub at some point. YMMV

i'm stock 18 lowered on eibach. thanks for the recommendation. i think i will go with 12mm all around. 3mm difference between 12 and 15 is not going to be that drastic of a change. better be safe then sorry.

Looks so aggressive! Sick stance. Anyone running 15mm all around on coupes w/ stock 18's?






[quote=John@BMW;4801256]this is 15mm all the way around-

Just a FYI - I just put on a new set of PSS 275/35/19 in the rear and tried out the 12mm MS spacers. My suspension is stock ZCP (slight drop over non-ZCP) and the rears rub like crazy in comfort mode with a passenger over any small bump. I'll have to swap them out with 10mm to fix the issue.

[hvd.kevin]

is it because you are now 275/35 instead of 265/35? thanks for the info though.

[babino]

Best guess is that my combo causes the issue: ZCP suspension, ZCP wheels, Tire Brand, & Tire Size.

Most people seem to be saying go for 15mm front / 12mm rears. Is that 15mm each side or a total track widening of 15mms?

Thanks

Jim

15mm spacer on each side.

Many thanks
