Spacer sizing advice for E92 335is with 18" style 313 wheels?

Hi-

I have a 2013 E92 335is with stock 18" style 313 wheels on stock 335is suspension. It is currently running OEM runflat tires (225/40 front, 255/35 rear) but I'll eventually be replacing those with Michelin PSS I think.

I'm considering adding spacers and was wondering if anyone has advice on which sizes to buy?

I found this thread from a while back, but this guy had 19" wheels instead of 18s, so I wasn't sure if that makes a difference. Also there didn't seem to be a consensus in that thread on sizing.

I'm basically looking to widen the stance a bit to get a bit more flush, but I don't necessarily want to go too aggressive, I don't want to risk rubbing or other issues. Anyone have a 335is with 18" 313s with spacers, and if so what sizes?

Also on a side note, any recommendations on which brand to go with? I was thinking of either Burger or Turner Motorsports

Thanks in advance!

18" vs 19" doesn't really apply for spacers and offsets, since the tire's side profile will be scaled down to maintain consistent overall wheel + tire dimensions.

APEX has spacers too, between those three you should be fine.

You can run a 15mm spacer on the rear and a 12mm spacer on the fronts without rubbing.

Just keep in mind that any of this advice is with respect to the offset of your wheels. The advice given is for your stock 18" 313 wheels. When you end up buying your 19" wheels and some Pilot Super Sports, you need to pay attention to the offset of the wheels. Then you may need to adjust your spacer sizes again.
235/35/19 and 265/30/19 is pretty common, I guess. That is what I have on order for my 2010 E92 335i (very different car than yours).

I'm running Turner 12mm spacers on 18" 313's front and rear.
No rubbing.

Ok so spacers size is determined by current offset of wheels, Unless you are running same offset as someone else you cannot take their spacer recommendation.
