Thank you sir! Do you think 12.5 would be pushing it too much?

P4S runs wider, 12.5 might rub since you went wider on the tire size out back.

2012 M3 Comp. Previous owner installed AC Schnitzer springs and H&R spacers 10mm and 12mm w/ZCP 19’s. Need tires, however, Michelin Pilot 4s are on back order everywhere in 245/35/19. Came across this thread searching the forum and after reading aplenty can’t for sure determine if I can run +1 all around: 255/35/19 and 275/35/19. Would hate to buy tires and have rubbing.

4s is on the wider side. Depending on your rear camber setup a 10mm might clear if on the aggressive side. The 5mm is the safer bet.

The 12/10 is what we generally run. Its pretty close in terms of rub/no rub and works with some brands of tires and not others. The 4S's run wide. I would step down to the 5mm rear.

Just purchased Ohlins suspension from 3DM. Setup currently consists of:
2012 Comp
AC Schnitzer Springs
ZCP 19" Wheels
Front 255/35 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S 12mm Spacer
Rear 275/35 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S 10mm Spacer

EDC light came on not long after the tire install and passenger front looks like rub.

I'd like to have proper spacers in hand when I take the car for the Suspension install.

Should I ditch the spacers entirely? Which spacer size for the front and which spacer size for rear would be best for the Ohlins setup on these ZCP wheels and Michelin tires?

I have this exact same set up: Ohlins, ZCPs, +1 tire sizes and 10/12 spacers.

The 10f/12r spacer combination works perfectly, but of course in your case will partially depend on how low you set your Ohlins.

The P4S tires run wide vs others. 12/10 has worked for some people and not for others we have done. The safer bet if you want to avoid running all together is 10/5mm but does really depend on the ride height like vitalsigns mentioned.

My mistake here. I run 12f/10r. Got them mixed up in my head, but not on the car!

kevin @ eas looking to pickup a set of wheel spacers, I have a ZCP car on stock suspension with the 19" 255/35 285/30 GTS tire setup. Would 10/12 be the recommended set up?

Depends on the tire brand you have but I would say p4s I would go 10mm front and 5mm rear.

I can't decide if I should go 12f/10r or 15f/12r.
I would prefer zero rubbing.

15/12 will most likely rub especially with ps4s’s as they run wide. 12/10 should work on stock suspension but if you ever go lower it will probably rub.

I am on swift springs 255/275 sport cup 2’s which run even wider than the ps4s. I am running a 10/5 spacer setup and it does not run very happy with the fitment.

Thats what I have been seeing too. 12/10 would work on most 255/275 setup but the 4s is wide. Stock height can get away with 12/10 but lowered needs to use 10/5.
