Question ► E90 Sport PCKG on 162's [spacers?]

For a 330i Sport Package: stock 18" wheels w/ sport suspension.

I want the wheels to look FLUSH with the cars body. Obviously NO rubbing.

What would you suggest?



10mm in FRONT
15mm in REAR

OR

15mm in FRONT
10mm in REAR


OR

10mm in FRONT
12mm in REAR


OR

12mm in FRONT
10mm in REAR


OR

10mm ALL AROUND


OR

12 mm ALL AROUND


OR

15mm ALL AROUND



►Please feel free to add visuals:bigup:

I believe I have seen a thread where the OP put in 18mm spacer at the back with no rubbing. He has the same wheel with ZSP. Do a search on the Picture gallery.

Just be aware that you are going to f*ck up your steering geometry if you put spacers on the front. Engineers spend a lot of time getting this just right. Try to minimize or avoid changes there.

I had 12mm in the back and 10mm in the front. The steering became annoyingly heavy. I have only 10mm in the rear now and the steering is back to normal. When lowered on eibach prokits springs with 10mm in the rear I had no rubbing when I had the stock 162's on. Currently no rubbing with the 19" style 230's also.

I have 162's with 12mm in the back-perfect. No issues and looks much beefier from behind as well as better from the side. The most I'd mess with the front is 5mm and at 5mm the only person that will notice it is you.

does adding a wheel spacer throw off your alignment?

Got 18mm in the rear with no rubbing, but I'm sure I could have put 20mm spacers without rubbing. But at this point I don't think its worth it to upgrade. If I could do it over again though, I would get the 20s.

I've got 20mm in the rear with sport package 162's. Looks great, but because my tires (Yokohama S-Drive) are 'beefier' on the sides than most, I slightly rub in the fender liner over big bumps. I'd venture to say that with 90% of tires out there you could go 20mm without rubbing - you sure wont rub on the actual fender.
