ZCP Spacer / Tire question
OK, I have a question, hopefully some members with experience can clue me in
I bought an M3 that had AG M359s on it which I really like. Currently, it has OEM sized PS2 tires on it and runs a 12.5mm turner spacer in the rear (ET25 without spacer, same as OEM ZCP). My question is, how much tire can I fit without rubbing in the back? I plan to track the car about 6x per year as well as DD the car, so I prefer to run extreme summer tires. I am not worried about rubbing or fitment in the front, it appears I have plenty of clearance. My options as I see them are RE11 in stock sizes AD08R in 255/275 (would really like to try this if I can fit it) The car is on OEM ZCP suspension and currently experiences zero rubbing under any conditions. Thank you for any feedback. |

I have a similar question: I have OEM GTS wheels (Black ZCP) running 255/35/19 in front and 275/35/19 in rear. I want to buy spacers, it seems like 12mm in front and 10 mm in rear is the standard. Can I run this set up with my wheel and tire combo with rubbing?

I am not sure if a 12mm would be too much in the rear, that's why I started this thread since I am sure people have tried this exact setup |

Bumping this.
I am running 245/265 on ZCP wheels with 12.5 mm spacers front and rear. No rubbing currently. Planning to go to 255/275. I think I will have room in the front (could easily go with a 15 mm in front now), but worry about the rear. I would have no objection to dropping to a 5 mm spacer in the rear if it would be safe, but figured it wouldn't be if 10 mm is too small to be safe. |

FYI. Not every tire is the made same. Shoulder shapes matter. Some people manage to go 18/15 so trust me when I say it varies.
With brand new PSS stock sized tires and a 12mm rear spacer I get slight rubbing on large elevation changes or under WOT with weight in the back. This will go away as the tire wears so its not a big deal for me. |

I have the comp pack with ZCP wheels and the lower suspension with Michelin PSS 255/275s with a 12mm spacer in the back. It only rubs in the rear on large dips/bumps. It's a very slight rub even at that.

had oem zcp tire sizes and ran 12.5mm tms spacers all around without issue... switched to 255/35, 275/35 Hankook V12's a few months ago and kept the spacers on...had rubbing under compression (usually driveways) in the rear...switched to 10mm spacers in the rear and no more rubbing

I had AG359's. MS 10mm spacer's did not sit flush on that wheel, I didn't try any other brands or sizes. I guess it was a chamfer issue. Also, you may rub up front going to 255's with that et18.

yes I kept the 12.5mm upfront, looks like I have room to go with 15mm if I wanted, but I'm good with how it is now. here's my other thread when I installed the new tires, pics have 12.5mm in the rear, had to switch to 10mm as stated above... http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=835840

Anyway, how can I tell if the 10 mm spacer will work for me or not? Is there a test or a way to verify I will not have issues? Something to look for? |
