Wheel Spacers F30

Hello all, I posted this in the Wheels and Tires forum as well but wasn't exactly sure which one this belonged in so figured I'll post here as well. I've been looking into wheel spacers for some time now and think I may have found the right ones for me. I have a 2013 335i with the sport suspension and wheels. I found a pair of 12.5mm spacers and 15mm spacers for a great price and was wondering if anyone has ran this set up? From my research I believe 12.5mm will be fine in the front and 15mm should be fine in the back. This is an aggressive set up that I hope to pair with some H&R lowering springs. Just wanted to confirm this set up drives fine with no rubbing. Thanks all

EDIT: my car is Xdrive

10mm front , 15mm rear is the most popular setup for this car.

12mm front might be too aggressive.

RWD F30 on KW coils here sitting on 12s front and 15s rear with no issues. Debated between the 10s and 12s for front and said I'd try the 12s first and see how I like them and with the coil drop to close the wheel gap, it fits my bill on OEM 400m for the winter on stock 18" tire sizes. Will be curious once I get a set of OEM 763m wheels then maybe I'll see a bit more poke on the front but how the spacers will look of course works in conjunction with your tire and wheel setup

that's interesting,


I've purchased the car and the 15mm spacers was already installed to all 4 corners. I only noticed the spacers when I had to swap to my winter wheels.

Could you elaborate on ''12mm front might be too aggressive''?

What would be the consequences? If 12mm is maybe too aggressive, 15mm must be too large for the front?

from my point on view, the car looks, ride and feel perfect with 15mm all around but, could it be a ''nuisance'' to run 15mm front?

I just installed wheel spacers on my f30 tonight
Msport wheels 19's
255 rear, 15mm
245 front, 12mm

Lowered on b14
Front is aggressive but works, it'll be perfect when I add appropriate camber
Rear is perfect

I ran 12.5mm F & 18mm R spacers with no issues, with the 19” staggered 442M setup (225/40 on 8” et36, 255/35 on 8.5” et47). Even after upgrading to a 245/35 upfront, no issues.
