Sounds like you are pretty aggressive already. Do you happen to know your offsets?

I have an 08 E92 with Style 220 oem wheels (not zcp) and stock suspension

Is F: 255/35/19 with 15mm spacers and R: 275/35/19 with 12mm spacers ok?

Or should i go F: 245/35/19 and R: 265/35/19?
(I live in a city of bumps) so i dont want it to rub

I could see the rear possibly rubbing on bumps if you have some tires like the PSS that run a little wider.

Absolutely no rubbing whatsoever.

I am going with the same setup on my e90. Did you powder coat the wheels or is this plasti dip?

I would go with a 12mm front and a 10mm rear. When going +1 on the tires sizes thats what we generally run.

thanks!

Just put new wheels on can you please recommend spacer size for me to order,

I'm happy with fitment up front though the rear looks weak to me, as I prefer the bulldog stance look

I'm thinking either 12mm or 15mm ??? Any help much appreciated

What tires are you running? Some have thicker sidewalls and will need a different size spacer if you are trying to be flush.

I do believe most people running a 19x10et25 are running a 12mm in the rear for flush with 275 width PSS tires. (which run a little wide)

Im running the standard 265/35/19 for now,

do you think I could get away with 15mm spacer for the rear? or best put 12mm?

I may give it a slight drop on springs, maybe eibachs or H&R

Thanks for your help

If Malek did a 15mm spacer on the 19x10et25 with 275/35-19 PSS then you should be fine with 265. Just remember he was super crazy flush with his 275s so you will be pretty close and may want to consider rolling your fenders to be safe when riding with a full car.

He did state that even lowered he did not rub with those specs.

zcp rims
h&r sport springs
255/275 pss

would a 15/12 rub??
or is 12/10 better option

Do you think it will look funny with the 15mm rear & none on the front?

maybe a 12mm for the rear would suit better with the front wheels?

any input?

When you go +1 on the tires I recommend going with the smaller spacers of 12/10

It would look off if you didnt spacer out the rear. In that case the front would have a wider track width. The best way s to get the rear spacers as well so the wheels look symmetrical.

2011 M3 E93

Wheels = ZCP

Tires = Perrelli P Zero

Tire Size = F. 255x19 and R. 295x19

Suspension = OEM non EDC

Thinking of 12mm Front and 5 mm Rear

Nothing rubbing now. With this set up looks like room to move out the fronts and a bit less on rear.

Thanks.

I dont think you understood,

do you think it would look off having a 15mm spacer on the rear & none on the front,?

wheel specs are

Wheels/offset:
Front: (19x9.5 vmr vb3 ET22
Rear: (19x10 VMR VB# ET25

3. Tire size:
Front: 245/35
Rear: 265/35/19

Front is relatively flush, but the rear is to pushed in compared to the front,

Should I go 15mm or 12mm for the rear? with this setup?

looking to get stance of these, examples

[///MPower15]

Would 15mm front 12mm rear be ok on zcp wheels with 255/275 tires dropped on swift or b&g springs? I know it will be aggressive, I just don't want to rub.

When you go +1 on the tires I would go with a 12mm front and a 10mm rear. That should be rub free on your setup.

Absolutely. Thanks!

[andysk585]

E92 m3 15/12 with zcps and plan on dropping on swift spec r's. I've read that you suggest 12/10 combo if you want to go wider. however, I want to keep the 15/12 mm spacers, you think i could get away with a 285 rear tire if i go thinner?

(michelin pss)
front: 255/35
rear: 285/30
