While waiting the delivery for my 11 E92 ZCP, I was looking at various threads. I liked the looks of ZCP with spacers, so I ordered 12.5mm TMS spacers (all-around). I'd need them anyways to fit my track tires to the M3.

I have couple questions though:

1. When I checked amazon, I found various different anti-seize products... Which one? I assume not the nickel or copper ones...
2. Where to apply? The sticky in this sub-forum about the spacers says never to apply between spacer and rotor hat. I hate when the rotor hat gets rusty so I thought anti-seize would prevent it? Or should I paint the rotors?

thanks!

I’m not a fan of anti-seize in that application. But, if you use it, place just a very little around the hub lip, where the “hubcentric” wheels and/or spacers fit. You’re not going to be able to prevent a little rust build up there. But, it does no harm, and I’ve never seen a spacer yet that would not come off with sufficient application of a dead-blow hammer.
