Wheel Spacer Help...Please..

I have a 2007 335i Sedan.
Built Date: Sept 2006 (if it matters)
Factor Sport Suspension - NO MODS what so ever.
I am adding a Picture of what kind of RIMs I have.
Premium Package also with idrive.

So what I am looking for is Spacers for Front and Back that will NOT Cause the Wheel to RUB, EVER.
but I do want them out further than they already are, and I don't want to do a trial and error with different sizes.
I have seen the Spacer Calculator on the Wheels and Tire section, but I am a noob, and don't know what I am doing with those numbers.

If someone can just say, this size worked for me, then I will beleive that.
casue it is coming from someone with experience.

I apologize if this has been asked a 1000 times. (couldn't find a Thread with my RIMs)

a Better Question: will it look like SH5T with those rims and spacers?
also what six LUG BOLTs will I need?

Thanks in advance.

For what I've read here most people go 12mm front 15mm rear with a drop and they have no rubbing. If your stock 20mm rear should be a problem. This has been cover a lot here but honestly this is what really helped me at the end.



Not a long video either

I honestly haven't ordered mine yet. But I will be getting 12mm front and 15mm at the back since I have the sports pack and the suspension seats a bit lower then the normal car and I might still drop it one bit.

Let me know when you do and from where and how much.
I am planning a decision by next weekend.

Also, do you have the same rims as mine?

$40 off of $100+

http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/web...chTerm=spacers

$130.99 minus the $40 = $90.00 per set including bolts for a reputable set of hubcentric spacers, seems legit

EDIT: the 12mm ones are a little more expensive

You need to put in your vehicle for it to show the bolt pattern, size, etc.

Look out for vendors on e90post who sell spacers. Amazon has turner spacers for cheap.

I ran 20's in the back but would rub on bumps. I was on ZSP suspension then.

You can be safe and run 15 mm in the back. Maybe even 18 mm. As for the lugs, just get the spacers with the extended lugs. They are like $70 on ebay for 15 mm

I am planning 18mm rear and 10 in the front on stock sport suspension with 162 wheels.

Any chance it will rub?
And yes, plan on buying spacers with lug bolts, or else not buying them.

I have this exact same setup on my e90 2008 335xi, 10mm front and 18mm rear bms spacers, stock suspension, no rubing at all but since you are on sports springs maybe it will rub....

I have your EXACT same setup (2008 vice 2007), and bought 12mm front, 15mm rear spacers from BMS (http://www.burgertuning.com/BMW_wheel_spacers.html)

They fit well and look great (IMHO). They come with the necessary lugs bolts, so no worries there either.

I highly recommend them!
