Question Thinking about getting some spacers for the rear

Hey guys, Im thinking about getting some spacers for my rear. Im on stock sport suspension and stock 18"...e92. Im going to stay like this and was wondering if I should go with 15mm or 20mm.
BTW how is the installation, hard or is it just a bolt on? I checked out **********s and they have some H&R ones.
Thanks for the help.

If you need help with the installation, we actually made a guide up on M3post. Here's the link to help out:

Get H&R 20mm. I am with E93 with M-tech suspension, 18" M-tech wheels (winter setup) and 15mm on the back, I wish I would've gotten the 20mm. They'd fit PERFECT. Direct bolt-on, no issues. You just need longer lung bolts.

20mm will rub on an E92. My 15mm spacers even rubbed on my E92 after I changed tires, but they looked really good.
I would recommend spacers from Turner Motorsport. They have a military-spec coating on them to prevent corrosion and pockets on the back so they can be easily removed.

Totally agree... I went with the Turner 15mm spacers and they are as you have described. Excellent construction and very very lightweight.

Do you know if 15mm spacers on the rear would rub with 19" BMW Type 269 wheels and a Koni FSD/Eibach pro kit drop?

Also what do you guys suggest for spacers for the front if I go with 15mm on the rear?
