15mm spacers on 230's(rear only)too much? (oem et 39 rear)

FotiosF90M5 · 05-25-2007, 11:37 AM

I have the 19 in 230's on my e90 with 255/30 runflats.I put one side with spacer and the other without.The side without looks real good just tucked in a tiny bit.The side with the spacer was way too aggressive and pushed out too far.I was a bit surprised because its a 9in wide rim.I think I might just leave it the way it is.Do you think I should try a 10mm spacer or do you guys think thats too thin.thanks for any opinions, sorry I dont have any pics.

I have the same wheels and looking for spacers. You must post pics of what you have, before you get the famous

I think 10mm should look aggressive enough, but I was temped on the 15mm spacers.

I know Im going to get the dreaded " blah,blah,blah w/o pics"

. Im just really short on time.The 15mm really were too agressive. Im just worried about the strength of a 10mm.It would look perfect though.

I don't know if it would work. I tried to put 15mm with stock sport 17x8.5 ET37 with 255/40-17, and it was rubbing when I drive over the bumps on highway.

Now I have 18" ET37 with 255/35-18, and very temped to try it again.
