Exclamation 15MM Spacers!

Hey Guys,

I'm looking into getting 15MM spacers for the rear & 10MM for the front, for my F30 335i. Has anyone had any issues with this setup? Does anyone have any pictures with at least 15MM in the rear so I can visualize how it will look on my car. Thanks in advance!

I'm running the BMS spacers 15mm rear and 10mm front. Zero issues at all. I didnt have dust caps on my car, but make sure you remove them if you do.

Is 18mm in the rear and 15mm too aggressive?

Car is not lowered yet. Currently using Apex Arc-8 18x9 wheels. Stick out just slightly past flush, which is what I prefer.

What are the offset on the wheels? What tire size? And any other pics you have of the car with the wheel/tire package?

I'm in a similar situation looking for a lot of rubber on a square setup so anything you can share is greatly appreciated.

Thx!

Running the Apex Arc-8 18x9 ET42 wheels with 42mm offset. Currently have Dunlop Direzza ZII 245/40R-18 tires with square setup. Also using BMS spacers, 15mm rear and 10mm front. You can go more aggressive with the tires and probably go to 265/35R-18 tires if needed, but always verify. I ordered 5 wheels, 5 of their OEM TPMS, and 5 BMW roundels from Apexraceparts. 5th wheel and tire comes in handy for rotating and track days.
The 18 inch wheels give you a lot more options for cheaper tires and should have no problem lowering, but do your research if wanting BBK and suspension mods down the road. I'm personally looking for coil overs to lower a bit and stiffen up the ride.
Will have to take some pics of my car. All I have is tire on rim pic.

Can see a clean wheel vs 1 day after the track

Great setup -- thx for sharing and looking forward to pics of the car overall once you've got the time.

I'm in a pretty similar situation, looking at a 18x9.5 et43 ec-7 square with the 245s or 255s as one of my top two options at the moment. Per the apex guys it will clear the m perf brakes, and I'm willing to play with spacers in the front as needed for strut clearance. At present I'm running ACS springs on the adaptive dampers so no issues with a coilover perch competing for real estate with the rim and tire sidewall.

15mm front and 12mm rear should be perfect! Once you lower it, just get suspension with camber plates so that the fronts can be adjusted. But im pretty sure by then you'll want some aftermarket wheels Let me know if i can help you out with some spacers!
