I would like to make them as flush as possible. When I eventually change my tires for a wider stance, I will change my spacer setup if needed...

You could do a 5mm in the rear, possibly even a 10mm since the stock tires are so stretched.

As for the front, I would stick with a 10mm or 12mm

I did the 12 front and 5 back last Wednesday at EAS. They look really really really flushed.

11' AW M3, I would recommend the same setup since our cars are the same. I don't think EAS have 10 in stock anyway.

Actually, 10mm just arrived in stock today.

Do you have pics by any chance? I didn't think the 12fr/5rr looked too flush on the white zcp that eas did with the wider tires....

would an E90 M3 rub with Eibachs, 18mm/15mm, and OEM 18s? what about with H&Rs?

thanks!

If you don't see the pictures on the thread, then it hasn't been done HERE at the shop. Best bet is to stay subscribed to see if this is done later down the road so you can get reference.

Check the thread, I'm sure there are a few customers who have done this. This is why we created this thread.

Would the 12/5 setup be the same recommendation for an E90 M3 with competition package?

I just got my ZCP this past saturday since it took forever to get here from ED.

I am going to be doing 15mm front and 12mm rear's. Measured it all out and should fit no problem.

I might be dropping by today or tomorrow to pick these up! I'll take pictures when done.

And for those who are wondering, yes I will be lowering the car as well. The route I am taking hasn't been determined, but for the sake of this thread, its all about if it will fit and look good without any trouble.

Don't know why on earth I am awake right now (can't sleep) but I will be coming tomorrow to pick up 4 pairs of spacers. 2 for me, 2 for a buddy and will be installing them right after.

is it me or does it seem that some 15/12 setups are equally as aggressive as 18/15 on some cars? Ive seen some pics on stock springs with 15/12 that are borderline touching the fenders. Is there any reason why its different on cars? Is there a realignment needed?

Maverick, the differentiation is if the cars have a drop or not. As cars get lower the wheels go in and start tucking in more. Thats why a e92 without a drop + 15/12 spacers have the same/similar stance as a lowered + 18/15.

Realignment is not needed if only spacers are being applied.

Here are my pictures are promised. Only 2 front shots for now.

Car is a 2011 ZCP Coupe. Lowered on H&R springs with custom guide supports, rear spring pads and bump stops.

Spacers:
Front 18mm
Rear 15mm.

For those wondering, it works perfectly and the 12mm front and 5mm recommendation is too conservative. Dont bother even putting a 5mm in the rear in my opinion, and don't bother with the 12 in the front either. The tires are stretched on the ZCP wheels, and you can even fit 20mm front and 18mm rear without ANY rubbing what so ever.

Here ya go.. Pictures were taken with a point and shoot camera, and not my SLR. I will take better pics soon.

thanks for the pm & pics! It is obvious that the MS spacer set I purchased (12/5) is way too conservative. However, I did go wider in terms of tires- 255/285 so I probably can't go as aggressive as you. I am thinking 12/10 or 15/12 would be better for me...

If you are in Orange County, give me a call sometime and I will measure up for you using my spacer templates to see exactly what you can fit given your new tire setup.

What spacers would you suggest for an e90 with Dinan Stage 3 with OEM 19" wheels (OEM tire sizes)? The camber specs that the car will have (suspension not installed yet) would be -1.95 up front and -1.45 in the rear.

I would like to have the wheels be flush with the fenders with no rubbing. Do you think 18/15 will work?

Also, my track wheels don't require spacers so the spacers will need to be taken off and put back on multiple times during the summer, any issues with this?

Thanks.
