Wheel spacers

Hello folks,

Doing my first mod on my 35is, was hoping to get feedback on what size wheel spacers will fit best on our car. I want the wheel to be flush with the body and avoid and rubbing and such. I am thinking 12mm and also anyone have experience with the APEX 12mm spacers.

Thanks
Jake.

Wheel spacers will be dependent upon the offset of the wheel you choose.

I just put on 15's in the rear and 10's in the front. They are perfect on my 2013. I do have the stock 17 in wheels. I also put the OEM splash guards or (mud flaps) on and I love the look. I'll get a photo up soon.

Here is the photos of the spacer setup. I'm real happy with the look. Anything more than a 10mm on the front pushes the wheel out to far. I used ECS Tuning spacers with longer wheel bolts.

I have 12mm spacers from Eibach on the rear on a 294 style wheel. The wheel is still a tiny bit inside (hardly noticeable), not completely flush. But I think the best fit would be 15mm spacers on the rear.

I have 10 mm H&R spacers on 293 wheels (255/18/35), but i agree 15 mm would be the best. Does anyone have 15 mm? Any rubbing issues?

PS: Wositch nice to meet a fellow Z4 owner from Slovenia here on this forum.

15mm work very well with stock springs, but I am pretty sure they won't work with H&R sport springs. Thats why I am selling mine. It was great before sport springs...
