OEM 230s, RFTs, ZSP E92: Spacer size?

Hi all, didn't find this in search, so I'm asking...

I have OEM 230s and Bridgestone RE050 RFTs(F: 19x8 et37, 225/35/19; R: 19x9 et39, 255/30/19), ZSP suspension on an E92. Visually, the stance looks pretty narrow, and it seems like the rears could definitely take a 10mm spacer with ease, and the fronts could get 5mm-10mm. Anyone have insight into what spacers can fit safely on my setup without any rubbing? Thanks in advance!

I saw this just as I was about to start the exact same thread, haha.

I've come to believe that 10mm is the best fit, but I would like to see if anyone else has some better insight to this.

Given your specs, I would definitely think that 10mm are no trouble at all. Some of the "Hella Flush" crowd, though, might be running even thicker spacers.

Thanks Marcus, I'll find some 10mms and give em a shot. With my driving style and the roads I drive on, there might be some consequences to doing the Hella Flush crowd style. Just gotta track down some spacers now...

Rule of Thumb is 12mm front, 15mm rear with OEM setup. But 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!
