Spacer advice or pictures

Looking to pull the trigger on some wheel spacers but can't decide between 12F 15R or 12mm all round.

I feel the rears need to come out further than the fronts so leaning towards the 12F 15R setup but really concerned about coming out too far or causing rubbing issues. The car is running 405m wheels on mpss with ACS springs.

I understand it's a personal taste thing but any advice or even better, pictures for comparison would be much appreciated!!

I went for 12mm all round and it's spot on for me with RFT's on 442's and ACS. I think 15mm on the rear might have given a slightly pushed out look IMO. However, I think non RFT's have less overhang of tyre wall so 15mm on the rear will probably work well for you.

Check my thread out here http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1365112

These wheels are 35 offset at the rear (so in effect a 12mm spacer). With ACS springs and non run flat Michelins it seems just right.
