Widest spacer for 2011 E90 328i w/285 rims square

Just wanted to see if anyone had direct experience with the max spacer possible for this setup:

E90 328i LCI Sedan with 285 rims (square stance, 8" width IIRC) 225x47/17

I currently have on some 10mm Front and 15mm rear, and it honestly looks like the 15mm front and 20mm rear spacers could fit and fill out to the edge nicely.

Any insight anyone has would be helpful.

I'm in a similar boat with 10mm front / 12.5mm rear spacers and Style 285s.

I've read 12.5mm front / 18mm rear are ideal. Depending on your tastes, 15mm / 20mm would work too. It might poke out past the fender at that point unless you have a bunch of camber.

Can you post pics of your current setup? I have these same wheels I will be putting on my 09 328 and want to get spacers.

My nephew just bought a black 11’ 328e90 on style 285s, I plan on hooking him up with spacers. I have 10-12-15-18s, I’ll be fitting them around Christmas.

Thanks for input. Starting to doubt the viability of 20mm in the rear now.


More input welcome -- again, esp if anyone has a current use (or similar width tire) example.

Bluewater, good sir, could you post some pics of the rear with the 15mm spacers?

A few quick ones. Just seems like the space is there — esp since I'm not slammed.
