I already have a jeep that sticks out to satisfy my feelings
Nice jeep! I wanna get one of those someday...

Yeah, I think you'll be content with the 15mm front 12mm rear combo with KW Sleeves...I was for 2 years. I just recently tried the 18mm front 15mm rear combo a couple of months ago, it looks good although the rubbing is starting to annoy me a little more and may go back to 15mm/12mm.

It's hard to tell from side shots - do you have any from head on or from the rear?

What size spacers do you guys think would work without rubbing?
10mm is perfectly fine, but most will go with the 12mm/15mm combo. Measure the edge of the sidewall to the fender to be 100% sure.

Would you recommend measure now to order or once I have the drop done, measure and order then?

I would stick to the 12/10 setup when you go +1 on the tires. I havent seen any issues with the 10mm's before. Ours have been designed to accommodate the 11mm hub and still stay hubcentric through the chamfer in the extended hub.

Not sure if this is the right thread to ask this question; Any "Noticeable" changes to the car steering??? Ok, granted, the geometry of the car does change since you're moving it out approx. 1/2 inch per side; but any bad difference in feel?
I would assume psychologically, we don't care since the mood increased style points!

Most will not notice any change in steering. Purely aesthetics.

Hi,

looking to pick up a set of spacers for my 09' M3 Coupe rear's which are currently sitting on

OEM ZCP's 10x19
on PS 275/35 19

i was originally shooting for 15mm spacers but after reading thru this forum I have been pushed to think that 12mm or 10mm would be safer? Im obvio looking for no rubbing issues.

FYI i have measured the distance from tire to fender and it came out to 14.22mm am i inaccurate?

thanks!

Just installed a set of MS 15MM all around on my M3 and love it!!

I've got to say, with all the talk about "vibrations" after installation, I've not had any. Take your time, prep the surfaces according to the DIY and all will be good.

Thanks EAS!

Ive had opposite experience. Ive had front wheel vibrations on every single spacer I've tried on 3 different cars. Ive even tried two well known manufatures too. Some installed at professional shops, some self installed. I Some installed while wheels still in air.

You go 80mph, I guarantee you, you steering wheel shakes a small amount.

Installed properly, there at zero issues with spacers. Appreciate the review.

Sorry, missed this one. Usually we recommend 12mm on the rear with OEM ZCP Wheels.

Understood - hard argument to attribute a little shake all to the spacers though. Numerous other things will cause that.

Sorry to bring up a fitment that was so long ago, but I am looking into grabbing a KW S/O kit and using this 15/12 setup on my 220m. If I do not have CC plates will I see any rubbing?

You shouldnt have any issues if you dont have camber plates. That particular car didnt have camber plates and had no rubbing.

No current spacers. Looking for a flush, no rub solution.

Summer setup will be completely different. Still flushing that out, so only worried about the winter setup for right now.

I would recommend a 15/12 setup with your specs. Even with lowering springs I dont anticipate any rubbing with a 15/12.

Hey guys, I'm lowered on H&R springs and running a setup of Ad08's 295 in the rear and 255 front with my front rim being 19 9.5 and rear being 10. Whats the best setup for an aggressive stance without rub?
