Would those spacers rub on the fenders?

I just ordered a set of 15mm for my rear. Stock sport suspension, 17x8.5 ET38. 235/45-17.

Please let me know ASAP, so I can change them to 12mm if 15mm rubs.
Thank you,

I have in the rear 20mm spacers.They do not rub against anything .So 15mm is ok.

Thanks for the confirmation. What's the size and offset of your wheels? Any photos to show how the 20mm look like on the car?

You won't have any problem. I had 15mm on my ZSP 330i with 162's . By the way, I want to sell these spacers (changed to new rims last week). PM me if you are interested. They are from Rogue Engineering and I got them from another forum member, and they are about 6 month's old.

Yea, as long as you keep your current sized wheels/tires I don't see a problem in getting 15mm spacers. I am sure you can run up to even 20mm before having concerns about rubbing. After you lower with it and play with other things though then it might be a problem.

JackMac, thanks for the offering. I have ordered them from a H&R sales rep. He has gotten them for me, and will go pick up tomorrow.

I think I would just stick with 15mm now since I am planning to lower the car a bit more down the road. And if I ever go back to 255/40-17, 15mm spacers would still be ok to use.

JackMac ! do you still have those spacers?
Does the proper lug/bolts comes with it?
I wish you have photos of it on, so I can see the differences?
I got non-ZSP with 161s/P-Sports, and it has a little space gap.
