heard somewhere 15mm is the maximum you can go w/ 3series for safety&mechanical issue.

AC Schnitzer recommends 10mm front and 20mm rear for E90 with AC type IV rims. So far, no problem and quite a number of E90 are with the above setup.

It all depends on the offset of the wheel, but 20mm sound way too much for a 10" wide wheel.

I don't know anything about the DPEs but mds82 is running 20mm spacers with his Breyton Vision 19x10s. His offset is either et42 or et38 - I am not sure.

I don't think he has any rubbing, but judging by the pictures, if you lowered that car I think it would rub.

then what is the biggest you can go in the front, i got a wheel with a et47 and i wanna run a 10 or 12, would that be safe or not

What offset are you running? its really hard to help you out with that information. Which DPE wheel do you have? Got Pics maybe that woudl help as well.. to see how its currently sitting.
