cwidjojo: The 12/55mm combo is the most popular (conservative), while the 15/18mm is for the aggressive folks. Either combination will be fine with a drop.

Yeah. I no longer live 91. I live in dexter park now. I don't think I'm going to get a drop though... Boston roads are rough enough without it lol.

How's your car btw? Any new mods?

Does this setup make the wheels stick out the wheel arches? I've seen the pictures from your thread and some of the 15/18 setup looks as if the wheels are slightly stick out. Not that it looks bad, in fact I think it's the perfect look, but I'm concerned it's going to cause irritation during parallel parking.

Not at all, 15/18mm is very flush with the fenders.

The reference thread is full of pictures with this combo, most M3s coming through our doors opt for this setup.

that's assuming stock tires though, right? (245f, 265r)

a more aggressive size tire, also very popular around here (255f, 275r) would require 15/12mm combo.

correct me if I'm wrong.

Correct, tire brand is a benefactor as well (blocked vs rounded corners)

Want to buy spacers for my 2011 E90. Trying to decide between F/R of 15/12 or 18/15. Will probably go for more aggressive look (18/15). I don't plan on changing the suspension of the car at this time.

Are there any ongoing group buys for spacers?
