Spacers and Style 220's

Seems like most members running spacers are on ZCP Style 359's and not Style 220's. For those with spacers and 220's, what size spacers are you running? Seems like 15F/12R is a popular combo, but is that ideal for 359's or 220's? Anyone have pics of 220's with spacers on E92's preferably.

I did 12.5mm front, 10mm rear with 220's but that's on an E93 M3. See my post here: https://www.m3post.com/forums/showpo...&postcount=699

Thanks to you both. Ironically I have an E93 as well, but figured very few members have verts, so asked for pics on coupes. I think I am going to go with 15/12's as I am on stock suspension for now (just picked up a '13 E93 late February). I do plan on getting Eibach pro kit down the road as well, and if I get rubbing once lowered I will make adjustments if needed. I really appreciate you guys chiming in.

I have no rubbing issues with the Eibachs and those spacers. Eibach had e93 pro kits on closeout for $78 which I was fortunate to grab a set for. Unfortunately they are all gone since several people bought a crapload to resell for close to full retail.

On my 220 street set I'm running 15 front, 12.5 rear with 255 & 275x35 azenis fk510. It looks fantastic.

Your car is not lowered correct?

Do you have a pick of your car from this angle...

This is the closest angle I have on my phone atm. If you go 255/275 lowered or not, don't go for more than a 12.5mm rear spacer (without increasing camber a bit) or it will rub 100% with this tire. 15 in the front could really be 18mm with this tire, especially if you pull the pins and max out the factory camber. Coilovers and camber plates are coming for track duty but a side effect of those will be that I can adjust the fender gap and increase the camber to tuck in wider rubber.

I have the slightest of side wall rubs on my rears when from when I launch. This is how l can firmly suggest anything more than a 12ish mm spacer will rub with this particular tire.

Hi, sorry I'm new here, still finding my feet on this forum, bit of a maze. Anyway, have 2008 E92 M3 stock 19 inch wheels, stock springs/shocks, want to add spacers not sure what to go for, or why I have to (?) go different front and back when the distance moved outward will be the same if i go same size F & R, the 'stagger' will remain the same? What difference would it make if I went 15mm f & R, or 15f 12r? I do not intend to lower. Please help.....thx

15F 12R is the combo that most seem to run and IMO look perfect. I get slight rub when turning because I'm running 255/35/19s upfront. I recommend going with a quality spacer due to risk of steering wheel shake with cheap options. MS or TMS seem to be most popular here.

that looks real good.. what spacer brand did you go with?
