Spacer Gurus Need some help please

CarbonBeast · 11-22-2007, 10:54 PM

I have an E92 335i with OEM 230s for my summer set up and Privat Reserves in 18 x 8 ET 40 for winter.

I'd like to buy a set of rear spacers that would work for both sets of wheels. My original thoughts were a set of Rogue Engineering 10mm spacers, can I get away with a thicker spacer? I know a bigger spacer won't be a problem on the winter wheels, but I even after

I don't know exactly what the limit is. I don't want to roll the fenders, and don't want to have any rubbing, even with passengers in the back seats.

I am on stock sport suspension for now, but I would not rule out coilovers in the future.

Thanks in advance for your help peeps!!

For the 230s you can go with either 10mm or 12mm all around, you wont have any problems with rubbing.

I got 10mm spacers all around no issues except that my front right side tire rubs on the fins of the oil cooler's air escape opening a bit when Im reversing and the steering is fully turned to the right because of my higher PS2 sidewall.

I'd recommend 10mm front and 12mm rear if you have OEM tire setup, and 10mm all around if your planning to put on something other than OEM tires.

12mm would be the best for sure on both setups

I have 12mm on the rear of my sedan with 230s, never thought about pushing out the fronts...
