18/15 works but is on the aggressive side. With weight in the trunk and people in the back you might be prone to rubbing.

Thinking on 12f/15r
Look like the common size in this thread....
Correct 15/12mm setup is perfect for your car.

I would say 12.5 is too much. Thats a pretty aggressive wheel I would say a 3 or 5 mm up front.

Bump!

Running 15/12 right now with my factory OEM ZCP wheels and 245/35/R19 and 265/35/R19 Michelin Pilot Sport tires.

Switching over to a set of winters I recently aquired, OEM staggered 219Ms with 255/40/R18 square Blizzaks. Any idea what I should start with? I have a set of 12mm, 15mm, and 18mm spacers available since I was getting ready to switch to 18/15 with my ZCP's before the weather started to cool down.

The front wheels are going to be more narrow than the 359s but wider tire up front. I would start with a 15mm up front since the front tires is wider than OEM. Rear I would try out your 18mm since the wheel is a little narrower and tire is slightly smaller.

Just put on stock sized 265/40R18 Advan AD08R rear tires on stock wheels.

The 10mm spacers that barely rubs with the Pilot Super Sports now really rub on the fender liner with the Neova tires.

Going to go with a 5mm now so the tires clear. I really wish BMW would allow more clearance!

Did I get here too late to keep the thread alive? Anybody have an idea about my question below?

For those interested, I read this completely wrong and installed the 18mm on the front and 15mm on the rears last weekend and have quite a bit of rubbing in the front. Will be flipping them back this weekend.

Keeping the thread alive-

I have a 2012 E92 ZCP, Stock ZCP suspension, stock ZCP wheels, stock tire sizes 245/265, and planning on putting 15f/12r spacer on as this thead has been extremely helpful vetting that out. So thank you to everyone!

I don't want to have to get new spacers in the future though if I get PSS tires in an upsize 255/275. Will 15f/12r cause rubbing with 255/275 PSS on ZCP wheels and ZCP suspension? If so, can anyone confirm what spacers they are running with ZCP + 255/275 PSS?

Great forum, great thread, thanks to everyone. If anyone can help I would greatly apppreciate it. As I read through this thread, two others asked nearly an identical question (long buried by now), and never got responses so help us all out if you can!

Cheers

UPDATE!

Just got the 10mm for the rears put on with no rubbing with the setup above. Looks perfect.

I was also going to ask this question also but with the addition of the rears. What's the largest spacer size with 255 and 275 on zcp wheels and suspension and PSS.

With the wider tire size setup I normally recommend the 12 up front and the 10 rear. Thats what we have used before and didnt have rubbing issues. The 15/12 might have some rubbing issues.

You should run the 12/10mm combo to be on the conservative side.

I have new F30 328i, "basic" car, 18 inch wheels.



Any idea what spacers I could use, without changing tires/wheels to make this car looks little better? Anybody has any pictures of that car with standard wheels and spacers?

There will be no vibration in a properly installed spacer. We have instructions at the beginning of this thread that can be used as an overview.

It's best to measure beforehand on the F30 to be 100% sure which sizes you need.
