You can check out the Macht Schnell Spacer Reference thread, it'll have a lot of different examples of spacer combinations used on OEM wheels:

Most people go with the 15/12 combo from what we've seen. Let me know if you need help deciding!

DisGuy,

12mm front and 15mm rear is a popular size for the wider stance

The 12/15 combo is perfectly fine for stock or lower suspension setups, with no rubbing.

The thread David linked above shows a number of M3s running the same configuration on Macht Schnell spacers.

I recently put on MS 12r, 15f spacers on my 220m's w/stock Conti3 tires, no rubbing and looks really nice and flush. I'm also dropped 1/2 inch from stock.
No compromise in feel/ride, beautifully balanced feeling. Highly recommended!

DisGuy · 08-02-2011, 09:01 PM

would 15r 18f be to agressive and rub with a drop?

Depends on the drop and tires you're running. I personally wouldn't want to go wider than my 12r, 15f and I'm only lowered 1/2" from stock. Here's some recent pics I posted.

15 / 12mm is the most common people are using for oem wheels.
