Spacers on 435i Xdrive
Hey guys, I'm new to the forum and have seen a lot of knowledgable responses so I can use some help. Just installed H&R sport springs along with 245/35/r19 all around and want to fill the wheel wells up more. Any idea what size spacer would be best for flush or maybe a slight poke fit? Especially in the rear. I see 12mm front/15mm rear is most popular

I have a 2014 435i with xdrive and adaptive suspension, I lowered with the eibach pro-kit and ran 15mm spacers in the front and 20mm the rear with the stock 18" rims, looked flush or maybe a tiny bit of poke. I have 20" rims now with offset that makes them flush.

I recommend you make some allowance for tyre/arch clearance, depending on the ride height of the car.
My F31 is running Ohlins Road & Track with a ride height set at 600mm from bottom of wheel rims to the top of the wheel arches (lowered but not slammed) and there is evidence of slight tyre contact with one particular area of the arch liners. I don't hear anything when I'm driving the car but clearly the tyres are just grazing the arch liners when there's significant compression of the suspension.

To be clear I don't have spacers on the 20s, I used those on the stock 18s. I don't recall the offset of the 20s off the top of my head . |
