E92 Wheel Spacer Recommendations for ZCP wheels

I want a more aggressive stance for my car, but want to keep my ZCP wheels which I love. I have seen suggestions for 10mm front spacers and 5mm rear, as well as 15mm in the front and 12.5 mm in the rear. Suggestions and photos would be appreciated!

Yes I have, thank you. I have seen pages of wheels and spacers on that thread, but I am looking for spacers, and suggestions, for my current ZCP wheels. I realize it is an inexpensive mod, however I would prefer to learn thru the expertise of the members on this forum vs learning thru trial and error.

I have the ZCP setup and run 15 front, 12 rear. Works and looks perfect. Rims and tires right at the edge of the fender/wheel well.

This thread has a ton of pictures, including ZCP wheels.

Based on the recommendations, I went 15mm on the front and 12mm on the back. It's subtle, but I like the look.

I like 10mm all around to maintain the stagger, not too bulldog. The TMS and MS spacer's sit flush, they have the proper chamfer. I just put them on my SG e92, here's a couple of pics on a Jerez ZCP I had...not great showing off the flushness but just a little taste.

can someone educate me on if we can use stock bolts on a 15mm front 12mm rear setup? What brand is best with vibrations? Thanks!

No you cannot use the stock bolts. Both of these spacers should come with extended bolts. Personally I went with ECS Spacers and don't have any vibrations. Correct preparation and installation is key to avoiding vibrations.

A little late to this post but recently did 15mm Front & 12mm Rear, 265/30r19 F, 295/30r19 R on MPS 4s. So far no rubbing front or rear. ZCP spring & coils. Previously ran H&R Race lowering springs and had rubbing in rear with 12mm spacers, had to revert back to ZCP setup with rear spacers.
