So go with 12-15mm, but I wouldn't, that's why oem e46 M3 wheels are usually so cheap around here even the forged ones (except for ZCP), because most people don't wanna run spacers upfront.

Anyway perfect offset for the front is 30mm, so get as close as you can
the perfect offset is et30 front? wth lol are you serious? i like your sn btw panerai base/marina

10mm will def clear everything and i will be fine you guys are saying right? i don't want to pay a restocking fee, etc to swap for 12mm if needed. thanks for all the help once again.

The perfect offset depends on the wheel design, not necessarily just throwing out a number.

Do your search, 10mm spacers are known to crack. I wouldn't want that to happen especially upfront

Yes, for a 19/18 X8.5 wheel upfront 30-32ET offset is perfect. Get as close as you can.
