I read 34 pages of the MS spacer thread and couldn't find any pics/info on the following set up:

220m wheels
255/35/19 18mm spacer - front
265/35/19 15mm spacer - rear

I'm looking for a very aggressive/flush fit. I know how this set up looks on a lowered E92, but a stock height M.

I'm also wondering if 255s are to wide to run 18mm spacers in the front. Maybe I should go 15/15.

I run 255/35r19 falken azenis fk510 for my front street tires on the 220 wheels with a 15mm spacer in front (non lowered edc). The bottom of the wheel is totally flush with the fender, the top inboard the car by the amount of the factory camber. Idk if I would safely go 18mm fronts unless the factory camber adjustment was maxed out, in which case I would certainly go 18mm *with this tire*. I run 275/35's in the back with a 12.5mm rear spacer. I would not go any wider than that as I already have light sidewall rubbing when I launch the car or hit bigger "than expansion joint" bumps. If you were going to change anything suspension related (concerning looks/stance only)on this kind of tire/wheel set up it's really only the front that needs to be lowered by about an inch +\- a tenth to not look too tucked like a ricer.

I run Michelin pilot sport 4S- 245 in the front 275 in the back with 18mm spacers in the front and 15mm in the back. I only rub when I bottom out.

Thanks. Crazy it looks like the red M that's running 15mm rear spacers stick out a bit further than yours. Probably the angle.

I ended up going with 15/12.5 TMS spacers. With 255s up front I get a little rubbing on my fender liners while making a tight turn. Good news, my steering wheel doesn't shake at any speed.

I run 15 Front and 12.5 rear and have 255's on the 220m wheels as well. If you're running 275/35 rear we have the exact same setup.

I rub a bit upfront with my PS4s. Do your tires rub?

[slowdown_dan]

Not at all. The outside of my rears rub a little when I launch the car which, has only happened twice. It's just a little plastic transfer, it doesn't actually cut into the side walls

[DL335D]

Strange. Maybe PS4s run larger than most? Mine are about half worn and I have an OEM alignment too.

Tires do vary slightly in measured width. You can look up the actual widths under specifications at Tire Rack. And as you go wider in wheel width than the test wheel, the tread width will widen. I forget the exact amount — maybe like 1/10 inch wider tread per half inch wider wheel, until you reach an extreme like a stretched tire.
