Spacers and Michelin Pilot Super Sports PSS

TBM · 05-04-2015, 12:30 PM

2007 E90 335i with 18" 313 style wheels and 225/255 Michelin Super Sport tires front/rear.

I've heard 12mm/15mm should be fine with pre-LCI E90 on stock wheels/tires. And I've also heard some people rub with 15mm and Pilot Super Sport in rear. It seems that the sidewall is a bit thicker with the PSS's compared to other tires.

Has anyone ran Michelin PSS 255's in rear with 15mm spacers w/o issues?

Not a matter of spacers and tires, it's how close your tires are to the fender and what you have done to avoid rubbing. At stock height I wouldn't worry about anything.

Just installed PSS on my e90 lci with 12/15 spacers and 18" oem staggered setup. It rubs slightly in the rear only on big dips but Im also dropped on eibach prokit springs. No problem living with it because of the exceptionnal handling and ride of those tires.

So I ordered a set of 12mm and installed them in the rear...looks much better, but since my car is on stock suspension (non-sport), not sure if I want to order a set of 15mm for the rears and move the 12mm to the fronts.
