you are most likely gonna rub. I rub on zcp wheels 275/30/19 with a 10mm spacer with a mild drop.

 

Mine isnt dropped at all, completely stock m3. ill need either the 12 or the 15 since there seems to be plenty of room until its flush with the fender, but i dont want rubbing, even with a full car. any suggestions?

 

We have a large selection of wheel spacers avialable:

If the 15mm is going to be too much, we offer a 12.5mm and 10mm as well. Measuring is probably going to be the best bet to get things to sit exactly where you want. We suggest customers stay a few MM's under the maximum measurement to prevent rubbing issues.

 

Before you purchase spacers, measure the distance between the fender and edge of the tire. This will allow you to determine how much room you have to push the wheels out.

I suggest the H&R TRACK+ Spacers when you do get the sizing correct. These are forged alloy, available with longer bolts and designed to withstand street and track applications to ensure there is no cracking or warping. They are also hubcentric so there will be no vibration with either the OEM or aftermarket wheels.

 

I was just about to say this....but basically sometimes its just trial and error. Measure the distance first like Nick said. I would recommend shaving your fenders if you have to.

 

Yeah you're probably going to have rubbing issues on that. I personally would do 12mm up front and 10mm in the rear for the best fitment and what most members run on this forum. But as long as you go with a high quality hubcentric spacer, you should be good. I personally trust the Macht Schnell Line when it comes to high quality spacers such as these:

PM me with any questions.

 

i run 2753519 m6 rims with 40 mill drop and mine rubs with 5 mill spacers only with two people in the back:-? looks sweet though

 

I run 12F/10R on OEM 19s (245/275) with the Macht Schnell. Fits great; but could go a tad outward. 15/12 I think would be perfect

 

i ordered the 12mm H&R trak for the rear...hopefully itll be just right

thanks for the input

 

spacers needed just for front

My M3 is lowered on H&R sport springs and I got a perfect offset with the rims on the rear.

The front is what I need a recommendation on. Would it be ok to install spacers just for the front and if so, what size spacers would be an optimal fit.

 

spacers only for the front.

I have Rogue Engineering 15mm on the front and not running any spacers in the rear as the offset was perfect. No issues and looks great.

 

im currently running 12mm, lowered on hr springs, with 275's mounted on stock 19's, i rub on certain bumps, i know a guy who's running 255's on stock 19's lowered on hr springs too, and he's running 20mm spacers with some rubbing. i think it would look pretty good with 15 or 18mm spacers with 255's in the rears. im running 20mm in the front with 245's with no issues at all.

 

^hes running 20mm!?

 

get 12mm... i had to raise my ride height a bit so it wouldn't rub, 15's will rub

 

now i'm wondering what's the max size spacer i can use, and still retain the stock lugs?

 

i guess no one can answer his question... ANSWER IT DAMMIT!!!!!!!! lol

well i guess maybe its obvious its safest to have extended bolts to fill in anything we push out right?

 

holy spacer selling battle

 

hey sup mike!!! my fellow NGO brother! haha thats right!!!
