You do not necessarily need spacers in back, but without them, the fitment will look fairly conservative relative to the front fitment. You will not experience any rubbing, just an issue of appearance. Most do run a 5mm,12mm, or 15mm spacer in back with this setup.

Didn't need to run them just wanted the rears super flush.

This looks great! I just pulled the trigger on some 18x10 ARC8's. Was planning on swapping my 15mm rear for a set of 12mm. Looks like 15mm will run just fine with 275/35. I'm on swift's so should be pretty similar to your eibach's.

Any more pictures from the rear?

335i M3 conversion

Arc-8 : F 18x10 et25 + 265/35r18
R 18x10 et25 + 285/35r18

No spacers. I found the front 265 tires were a bit too narrow. A 285 all round should work great.

Brembo 19z calipers + 380mm discs fit perfectly well.
