Spacers with spring drop

jsn_e92 · 10-25-2016, 09:30 PM

Hi guys...
I'm hoping anyone here can educate me on wheel spacers questions. Before putting aftermarket wheels I was running a 15mm spacer in the rear on stock spider wheels on my 335i xdrive e92. It was good nice and flushed gave the car a nice aggressive look. I know went up a size on wheels and tried to use the 15mm spacer but I am rubbing. Im wondering if I can run 10mm in rear and 15mm ib the front to try to flush wheels to the fenders... can anyone give me some thoughts on this... thanks

Not enough specific info here to help you. It's like saying "So my pants are big and I bought a belt to make them stay on my ass without falling off. They fit really nice and snug. But then I lost weight and bought new pants. These ones are a little big and kinda fall off my ass too. What size belt do I need to make sure my new pants stay snug on my ass like my old ones did? Old belt doesn't fit."

This is true. We can't know for sure.
I'm on springs and 12mm spacers. Had no rubbing. Just bought new tires the exact same size but different brand and now these rub. Argh.

But if you bought different brand pants in the same size, would they fit right or no?
