Installed spacers... sad to experience rubbing

Shaved mine last night. Best decision ever.

I would just get the fenders rolled. If you ever decide to run wider wheels/tires it will have to be done anyway, so might as well get it out of the way now.

do you have any pics of the 197's with the spacers?

I don't have pics but I went to go see an BMW indy shop and they didn't like the idea of rolling my rear fenders. They said it's not easy to work with (at least on my e92).

So we agreed to just put my rear tires at -2 camber since I needed to have an alignment anyway. Now I rub slightly only when I bottom out which means I'll have to live with the 12.5mm in the rear. They suggested going with a less meaty tire if I wanted to try the 15mm.

They also suggested get 10mm spacers for the front can cause issues so now I'm wondering if I should just leave it stock or get 12mm up front too.
