Just got my set of 12/10. Had a hard time finding any pictures of a ZCP e92 set up with 12/10 anywhere on this thread. Will be sure to post pictures once installed this weekend.

Installed the set of 12/10 spacers this weekend. Install went smoothly. Unfortunately I am getting steering vibration at 80-85mph. I took my time cleaning wheel hub, wheel itself and spacers to make sure there was no dirt, rust, or grime between the surfaces. I hand tightened the lugs while the wheels were elevated then torqued to spec while they were touching the ground w/ some weight on them. Going to take off and re-install this week, any suggestions would be helpful. I did use some anti-seize on the hub, not sure if that could be what's causing the vibration.

Here are some before/after photos of 12mm front and 10mm rear Macht Schnell spaces on a stock suspension ZCP e92. Sorry for the mediocre photo quality...lighting in my garage is not exactly ideal.

Rear Before:

From Festival of Speed St Pete this weekend:



Got some great feedback at the event and I'm very happy with the fitment. The rear wheels are absolutely perfect, front wheels are right where I want them too. Wouldn't change the spec.

Sorry to bump an old post, but I was thinking of going 255/275 on 220m with the possibility of springs in the future. I was afraid of rubbing with 15/12 and was thinking 12/10 instead due to the +1 upsize, however it seems to work with the example above? Got any thoughts? tom @ eas or kevin @ eas

Going plus size I normally recommend using a 12/10 combo. Really depends on the tire but a tire like the Michelin p4s run wide. Smaller tires such as Hankook ventus run narrow so you might be able to get away 15/12.

Can I Fit 18/15 on my 08 E90? Stock height, 219 wheels with 245/265 PSS. If I can get a price quote as well that would be great!

Ok guys, 2011 competition package with stock suspension and stock tires, zcp wheels. Looking for a perfect flush look with the fender, I really don't want sticking out at all either rim or tire. Like looking for the best flush option without rubbing. Was thinking of 18/15. I might go a bit bigger size tires when times comes but it wont be a most for me if I can have 18/15.
Do any of you have seen issues with rock chips in the body work since the stick out more than factory?

15 front and 12mm rear is the perfect size for stock tires and comp package. If going wider on the tires then 12/10 would be a better setup to go with.

If ido stay with stock size, will the wheel/tire poke past the fender? I want to go as flush as possible, dont want any poke. Trying to make sure before placing an order.

Thanks.

No poke with that setup. Here is an example

Just purchased 12mm MS spacers for my e90 and rubs a little on mine in the rear fender trim. Anybody have a pair of 10mm MS spacers and bolts they want to trade for?

anyone with 15mm front, 12 mm rear with ZCP wheels on stock ride height have pictures of how they look if you were standing right in front or rear of the car? Just want to see how far apart the tires are pushed out. I know it sits flush with the fenders but im afraid the tires being pushed so far away from each other would make it weird looking if you look from the rear or rear.

I go the other way around with the 15mm front and 12mm rear. The larger front spacer give the car a more flush look.

12/15mm would work just fine.

Trying to figure out spacers that would work as the lowest-common denominator for both a winter and summer setup. It seems like I couldn't find the right combination of non ZCP wheels on a ZCP.

Stock E90 ZCP '11
359 Wheels
PSS 245/35/19 F
PSS 265/35/19 R
Stock EDC suspension (no plans for a drop).

Winter setup:
219 OEM 18"
Tires TBD, thinking 255/40/18 square right now, but might just keep the OEM staggered sizes I need to compare what tires are available.

Would 15/12 be safe?

Yes. I run 18mm front and 15mm rear with H&R race springs with no rubbing. Same wheel/tire setup as you.

Hey guys what spacer size would you recoomend for:

OEM ZCP Wheels
Lowered on Swift Tech R Springs
255 front
285 rear

I've looked quite a bit and see 15F/12R is common but not with that wider rear and lowering springs. I'm looking for a pretty flush fit, I will not have passengers or extra weight in the car and if it rubbed on very large bumps I think I could live with it.

I want something safe but aggressive. Thanks for the help guys!

15F/12R will work. That's an additional +1mm compared to my setup and should fit. The rear will be tight but you can dial that in with some negative camber.
