Eibach Pro Kit & Spacers - best combo?

I have a '10 335xi e92. I put the Eibach Pro Kit on around 6 months ago, with 12mm spacers in the front and 10mm spacers in the rear. I love the look in the front - small gap, pretty flush with fender. But the rear still looks a little 'tucked'. I'm debating whether I should go up to 12mm in the rear, or maybe even 15.

Anyone with an XI and Pro Kit that went wider than 10mm in the rear? pics? any major ride issues? I rarely have rear passengers.

Thanks!

I think everyone reads these forums but nobody replies... I have 12 in the rear, and it's not enough. I think even 20mm would be fine, and make it flush with no rubbing.

I read a thread where somebody said they had 15 and would have done 18 if they'd done it again. I am thinking about a set of 12F/15R or 12F/18R.

I have 12 in the rear right now, and it could easily fit a 20mm in my opinion.

12mm in the front is spot on IMO

I read pros and cons for spacers which got me scared.

I am thinking about putting 12mm front, 18mm rear on stock suspension.

Do they really affect ride comfort? wear out suspension parts? more steering effort plus wheels might fall off if you don't torque right?

I have an '06 330i (pre-LCI) with newly installed B12 Pro-kit, M3 front control arms, and stock 162 wheels/stock size tires.

I'm currently using 15mm front & rear. 15mm in the front is perfect. I'm going to switch to 20mm in the rear to make it match the look of the front.
