spacers

hey guys, quick question... i pulled my spacers off my e46 m3, i have 10mm and 12mm.

i have a 2010 e92 335i and i wanted to throw these spacers on, which size should i put on the front and rear and also, will i be flush with the fender with the oem 225's?

also, if i lower the car with kw v2's, will i rub?

thanks in advance.

Many the questions you've asked will be a bit hard to answer directly since there are various factors.

The easiest way to determine if the spacers will work without causing any kind of rubbing issues is to measure the gap. Depending on your ride height, alignment, and tire manufacturer, rubbing issues will vary.

Rule of Thumb is 12mm front, 15mm rear with OEM setup. But Charles is right, it's safer to measure it to make sure. Let me know if you have more questions about Spacers.

This is RS Technic Spacers Photo Per Request! (it's like candies), one of the lightest weight spacers out there, and the chamfered design makes these real easy to take off even after hundreds of hard miles and a track day!

i plan to take the front down an inch and the back .75 of an inch.

would the 10 front and 12 rear sit flush?
