Spacer question.... Lowered e92 MSport with 19" 225m's

I've searched around the forum, but haven't found a real answer. I'm gonna lower my e92 335 and I have the M Sport package and the optional 19" 225m's. How big of a spacer can I run front and back without rubbing? I go to the track occasionally too, so I want a little extra room in there.... don't want it too tight.

I'm thinking 5mm front and 10mm back would be about right?

would you be interested in selling your 225M's? i can give you my style 157s with good tires and $$$ or i can give you straight up cash for the wheels and tires so you can buy aftermarket wheels

let me know,
thanks!

The best way to determine spacer size is to use this guide as it will vary on tire brand and sidewall shape. However, based on those offsets and factory tire size, 5mm front and 12mm rear will be safe.

No way man. I love the 225m's. Honestly if I couldn't have gotten those I probably would have gotten just a sport package and not the M
Sport.

My E92 Msport is running Rogue Engineering spacers, 10mm in the front and 15mm in the back. I'm lowered on the Eibach Pro Kit/Koni FSD setup. The rears rub if you hit a big enough dip. I'm gonna swap them out them out for 12mm. No problems at all on the front and they look great. Only this is the steering feels a bit "stiffer".

am thinking bout the same thing ... am going to be lowered on FK Silverline X coils ... also have MSport with 225m's ...

3-5 in front maybe , and 10 rear ... dont u think that 10 rear will rub without rolling the fenders ?
10mm in rear wil be like ET 27 or something right ?

10mm in the rear with 225's for sure wouldn't rub. My fenders aren't rolled with the 15mm and I only slightly rub on big dips.
