Seems like 10 or 12mm? I absolutely don't want rubbing and drive the car harder than anyone. Thanks!

Judging by your specs I would say a 12mm front and the rear 5mm. If you are ever in the OC area we do offer free install and could test fit spacers.

Thanks Kevin. I really don't want to run a mismatched set. I would do them both the same if at all. I am surprised that you're stating I can only get 5mm rear? Why so? Thanks.

I run 12mm front and 10mm rear. Rear wheel is just in the bordeline of fender and tire what looks good. Bigger spacer on rear makes that wheels are outstanding and crossing the borderline of the fender, what if You don't have enough stance - looks poor IMO.

Front could be even more around 2-3 mm, so 15 mm spacer on the front with ZCP could be nice.

10mm's with stock size PSS's. Not too much poke, achieved just the right look for me.

I have an 09 e90 with 220m stock on stock size Michelin as3.
Ms 15mm front and 12mm rear.
A spirited drive on my all seasons will rub on my rear tires. I can see the wear on the sidewalls.
Unless you drive like miss daisy, I'm not sure I'd recommend a 12mm in the rear.

what brand spacers were you using in the photo you posted? any issues with the rears sitting flush on the hub (not bottoming out)?

They were Macht Schnell and Turner MS spacers. Both of these brands are chamfer'd properly to sit flush on the hat with the OEM wheels. They worked on the 220's and 359's I had. Absolutely no gap with them.

Thanks Denk. I have a set of 10mm TMS spacers en route to me for the rears and they kept playing that non-responsibility crap with me and wouldn't give me a definite answer about hub fitment.

12mm is the safe bet but my 10mm's have fit flush on 3 different e92's. You should be fine.

cenix · 09-22-2015, 05:26 PM

I installed the TMS 10mm spacers on the rear. I can confirm that the fitment of the spacer onto the hub is perfect and it sits flush without bottoming out. I have stock ZCP suspension/wheels with Yokohama Advan AD08r's in 275/35. There was a slight rub on big bumps but was easily remedied by filing down the black nub where the bumper meets the fender. I think it looks terrific now.

Using a 12mm spacer on a ZCP wheel is like a 16mm spacer on a stock 18 or 19" non ZCP-wheel.

Thanks.

I'm running 12mm front, 15mm rear on stock ZCPs with no rubbing issues. Planning to move to a 285 rear tire!

What size tires are you running now?

I'm running 265/35/19 Rear (stock zcp size), PS2.

I ended up buying 275/35/19 PS2s off tire rack today...they had 2 in stock.

You think you'll have rubbing issues with the 275s and the mentioned spacers?

I don't know... i'm hoping not. I did a quick measurement last night and it seems that the gap between the fender and wall is about half inch. the 275 vs 265 is 0.4" wider, but that size is 0.2" inner, 0.2" outer...

Suppose if it does rub you could always do a 12 on the rear to make it clear. Keep me updated, that's the size I'm looking to do.

devs M3 · 10-25-2015, 04:02 AM

Just picked up a set of OEM ZCP wheels... debating on tires.. Will be doing either Ohlins R/T DFV coilovers or KW V3 coilovers. Will be running MS 15mm F / 12mm R spacers. I don't want rubbing... I currently run these spacers on stock suspension, 220M wheels, and OEM 245/265 fitment.. Everything is fine.

It doesn't seem like too many people are running the GTS tire fitment (255/35 F, 285/30 R).. Is this just because Michelin doesn't make that rear tire? Why not just run the Pirelli PZERO? Here's the tire options/sizes I'm looking at:

255/35 -- 285/30 Pirelli PZERO (GTS Fitment)
265/30 -- 295/30 Michelin PSS OR Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2
275/30 -- 295/30 Michelin PSS

Is anyone running these sizes with 15/12mm F/R spacers?? Any issues??

For the 19x9" F, and 19x10" R ZCP wheels, Tire Rack shows the 255-275 front tire is within the 9" wide wheel width range, and same goes for the 285-295 10" rear wheel...

On a side note, the 2010-2012 997.2 GT3 runs a 305/30/19 on a 12" wide rear wheel.... that tire's recommended rear wheel width is 10.5-11.5"... Porsche decided to run that on a 12" wheel...

Give me your thoughts and opinions, please!

ConceptE92 · 10-29-2015, 10:43 AM

If someone else could chime in please? I am currently running the ZCP wheels 19x9/10 rear with 15mm front and 12mm rear spacers.

I am also lowered on GC coilover kit. I am very happy with the fitment, however would love to get some more meatier tires. The current tires I run are the stock ones, I beleive 245/265 35 fitment.

Anyone that can chime in and let us know if you are running 255/275 35 with spacers and a drop? If so, what size spacers do you have? Pics would also help

Thanks in advance,
