Can I run these spacers on OEM 19's and SP lowering perches?

Another will it fit thread... Here are my specs:

- E92 LCI
- Stock Sport Suspension (M-Sport)
- SP lowering perches (lowers the front about half an inch)
- Stock 19" OEM Style 230 wheels
Front: 19x8 ET37
Rear: 19x9 ET39
- Stock tires
Front: 225/35/19 Pirelli PZero RFT
Rear: 255/30/19 Pirelli PZero RFT

I'm thinking to get 12mm front and 15mm rear spacers. Is this ideal? I want it as flush as possible without any rubbing or fender work.

Are you running a similar set up? A lot of threads here say to stay away from 10mm or less...

I did run this setup on my past 2 pre-lci 335's (e90 and e92) Curious as to why you would want to stay away from 10mm or less??? I always thought its ideal to run under 10mm?? Matter of fact, I've always been told NOT TO RUN spacers due to suspension/CV stress....

Check out the section called "The 10mm Spacer Dilemma" on Turner Motorsport's site: http://www.turnermotorsport.com/t-te...l-spacers.aspx, it explains it better than I could lol.
