15mm Future Classic spacers on stock ZCP suspension

accarter · 05-28-2021, 12:46 AM

This afternoon I installed 15mm spacers on all 4 wheels of my e90 ZCP. I was going to do 15mm front, 12mm rear but Future Classic was sold out of the 12mm. I decided to experiment with a more aggressive fit.

This is with stock suspension, 19in ZCP wheels. 245/35 front, 265/35 rear. I only took a few (not so great) pictures because I just put them on. I might add more to this thread later.

I think it looks great! Do they rub? Yes. If I go over a dip in the road or turn into a steep driveway they will rub a bit. Rubbing goes away if I move slower than normal or if I turn on EDC at all.

I haven't tested them at speed for wobble, but I'm not concerned as Future Classic makes really nice spacers with the hub mounting screws.

Nice! That looks really good. I also ordered 15mm and 12mm Future Classic spacers about 2 months ago. They told me the 12mm was on back order but I decided to wait to avoid the rubbing issues you're facing. I'm also on stock ZCP suspension and wheels, Continental ECS 245/35 front and 265/35 rear.

Your setup looks great but I would hate to rub.

I have 15mm in the front, 12mm in the rear, no rubbing at all in an e92. the square setup looks great on your car though, enjoy in good health!

Looks great OP!

Tire size will make a big difference on the rub as well. I have the 15/12 setup on the Comp wheels/suspension as well, but with the 255-35/275-35 setup it rubs on full lock in front and only on full compression rear. I have learned how to minimize this and so it is not really an issue. With the stock tire size you are running I don't think you should rub at all if you went with 12mm in back.

Looks great. Front spacers did not work for me though. Had vibration over 70mph when installed. Decided to remove them and deal with the less bulldog/more sunken in look. Still have 18mm on my rears though (Apex ARC8s made for 335i lol).

Looks pretty flush. Do you have close up pictures of the rear?
