12mm spacers all round with Eibach Springs suited the car well with no rubbing.

I then swapped the wheels out for M3/4 competition wheels and the rears rub ever so slightly with passenger in the rear when cornering, ordered some 5mm spacers still a further option to go 3mm if I’m not happy with the set up

Update: I was looking at my car at the gas station, I think the pictures below may exaggerate the poke, nevertheless it looks great!

This looks great. I'm the same. Not sure about lowering the car so would love to see some more pictures of your car from a distance and side on etc with spacers and standard ride height. Can you please post some more pictures up? Thanks.

I read in some other threads that going 10mm all around has some issues?

Or do these ones have the design needed to avoid those problems?

Debating about going 10mm all around or going with 12/10

If you're getting smaller sizes like 5-7mm you want to go with the Turner Motorsport spacers because they have extended hub ring lips. I don't believe that problem applies to anything larger than 7. You can run most any brand safely if you're going 10mm+.

I ran 12/10 from burger for a year and had 0 issues. Running a 15/15 now.

What about the issue about the pre-lci thread you posted?
I'm worried about the tire rubbing and causing issues even when going straight.

I'm going to be lowered on KW HAS as well.

That fender issue may have been completely fabricated by the guy who posted it. After looking into it further there hasn't been any real evidence supporting his claims. Everyone I've spoken to about it says their fenders are rolled from the factory. He might have been talking out of his ass to make it seem like the accident was the cars fault and not his own.

I'm on lowered on KW HAS with 15/15 and have no rubbing issues whatsoever. Just make sure you get an alignment done after install and you'll be good to go.

I'll be going 12mm in the rear and 10mm in the front. I prefer a wider stance in the rear versus a square on all wheels. In fact there is a chance that I will not use any spacers on the front. My M4 has 12mm in the rear and none at the front and it looks aggressive.

I love the looks of your black car, really sharp looking. I'm on my dealers waiting list for the M2 Comp and I will likely go black since the gray has been discontinued on that model car.

Thanks for the compliment

As long as you don't mind washing your car regularly, you can't go wrong with BSM. It's fantastic to look at when it's clean.

This looks great Andrew, do you have Instagram? Is the BMW a staggered setup to begin with?

Thank you

My instagram is @andylikesthis

Yes, the car is staggered from the get go. You don't have to mis match your spacers to get that look. It's probably better/easier if you just get the same sizes. This way all of your bolts are the same length and nothing will get mixed up when you go in for service etc.

Any pics or experiences with 11mm all around?

[BSMF87]

Would torque specs be the same? 101lbs?

[godxilla]

I have an all stock M2C. I'm looking for the max width spacer I can use all around without rubbing. 15mm? 18mm?

Thanks for the advice!

I started with a 12/10 set up based on all the recommendations I got on this forum and immediately regretted it so I switched to a 15/15. It's perfect.

I would consider that the max you should go especially if you plan on lowering the car to a good looking ride height. Any wider and you'll probably rub and the tires will be out past the fenders.

Also keep in mind that you will be kicking up way more stones into your side skirts and fenders so PPF might not be a bad idea.

[JeremyDFW]

I installed Eibach Springs and 10mm spacers all around. I think they are about 2mm too wide on the front and rear, but again all personal tastes/opinions.

Eibach perfected the level of drop with their springs though.

[Dabozo]

I'm on 12 front 10 rear and lowered on eibach.
On big dips at speed I get rubbing.
Running Michelin PSS.

Where does it rub?

JeremyDFW - great pics. Looks so good. How's the ride on the lowered springs? I'm not asking about comfort but rather is it bouncy or unsettled with less travel?
