spacers with 162's and zsp
i know this has prob been brought up before but i seem to suck at searching.
im trying to figure out the ideal spacer size for stock wheels(162) with sport suspension. i was thinking 15rear/12front but im not sure. any help and pics would be awsome. there are alot of good deals to be had,but until im sure what size i didnt want to waste anyones time asking "how it looks" |

I have the same setup (162s with sport suspension) and would like to know the same thing. I've read a million threads and I'm still not 100% so I feel you on just asking the question. It's also worth mentioning that I'm pre-lci, which I guess has a few extra mm's that you can push the stock wheels out without issue (lci extended the rear track a few mm).

I have 12mm front and 20mm rear on KW V2. Front rubs the fender liner a little bit on hard dips, but nothing too serious.

I had the 12mm/15mm set up in my 162/ZSP. IMO it's the perfect match up. I had 20mm on the rear but it didn't look right. With the 12/15 I never rubbed under any circumstance. I have tons of pics, but I'm on my phone. I'll post tonight.
I also just upgraded wheels so my spacers are for sale if you are interested.

What tires are you guys running with your 162s? I have an e90 with 162s and Michelin PSS and from my measurements it looks like 20mm will rub, while 15 would be pushing it. The sunken look of my car is getting a bit tiring hehe.

I have a 2007 e90 with zsp and 162's. I went with 10s and 18s. No rubbing and it's pretty flush. You would have no problems going up to 20 I the rear. The front is pretty wide from the factory so I wouldn't go with anything over 10. I have OEM Bridgestone run flat 225/40 18 up front and 255/35 18 in the rear.

Running 20m H&R in the rear on non-Sp 2/162s. Pre-lci. The 20mm's bolt on to the hub.
Looks just right imho. The rear fender gap is ridiculous on sedans. Planning to add some KV1's in the next few months. For those running 12's in the front, are these hub-centric? Any preferred brands? Tips on where to buy? I've been told this makes a big difference on turn in. Opinion? |

so i got them installed,totally changed the way it looks. more planted comes to mind.
i may go 18mm in the rear to give it a more even look. the wheels will be coming off shortly. the stockers will be getting poweder coated in gunmetal. |

I measured from top edge of tire to fender and then converted inches to mm, I have 12mm on the rear, about .5''

Bought some 12mm (front) and 18mm (rear) spacers from a fellow forum member here. Hopefully they'll work fine with my Michelin PSS/162s. Tire runs a bit wider from what I've read. I guess I'll find out next week!
