Macht Schnell Spacer Question

zzzbullseye · 12-24-2009, 11:43 AM

I was considering the 15mm Macht Schnell spacers for my 2009 E90 LCI ZSP with a couple different wheel/tire combos.

Winter setup - 225/45 Blizzak LM60s on 17x8 Rial Salernos (30mm ET).

Summer setup - Potenza RE050A's 225/35 front, 255/30 rear on OEM 179 19"s (8" front, 9" rear). Wheel offsets of 37mm front and 39mm rear.

I'm assuming the summer setup is the most restrictive, so if the spacers would work on them they would work on the winters. Anybody have a similar (or the same) setup? Workable or not?

ET39 + 15mm = ET24 with 255/30 on LCI looks like rubbing issues to me.

That's kind of what I was afraid of...what do you think the max spacer size is I could go with for my summer setup? I'd rather not have any rubbing issues, so I'd rather error on the the side of caution.

I don't really excatly know how much room there is on the LCI with the OEM 19". I think you should try and measure yourself.

Yep, I guess I'm not gonna know for sure unless I get out the tape measure.

Okay, I'm mounted my summers today to get a look at the clearances, and took some pics. It looks like I’m already flush with the inner lip of the fender well and that I've got about 1½” to 1¾” vertical clearance. Fronts were basically the same. What do I know now...?

And no...that's not my pink fingernail polish...I had my daughter tag in to help!
