I went with 305s and I'm looking at the rear now thinking a 10mm spacer could still work

Either way, I'll see how it looks with the spacers first and decide on what drop to go with afterwards (if at all). Figured I'd start with the smallest price-tag and work my way up. lol. |

Ok, something's not adding up...
Here's the rear with 12mm spacer installed, stock suspension. As you can see, there's still a significant tuck going on. I measured the wheel and it's 10.5" (OEM spec). Tires are also OEM at 295. Could there be something else affecting the fitment? I'd hate to have to go 20mm+ spacer. Any advice on what else to look for/consider would be greatly appreciated. Installed 10mm in the fronts and they're perfect (sorry, no pic). Thanks for all the input and help. Leo. |

No rubbing and aggressive stance. Spacers were use for 2months just siting on shelf now. . Anyone interested let me know. Selling for cheap. Will check for the size forgot off hand what they were. Last edited by frozenM6; 01-07-2019 at 11:53 PM.. |

With that being said, wouldn't the higher offset cause issues with the suspension? Wouldn't there be rubbing on the spring/strut? Thanks for the feedback. |

The good news if your front wheels are correct (20x9.5" 31mm) that you'll only need to buy two wheels and then have a good pair of wheels that can fit anywhere on the car and can be used as a spare. If you check out one of my threads you'll see 20x10" M5 343m wheels on the front of my car with 295/30r20 tyres and they are absolutely fine over speed bumps and full lock.

In regards to getting spacers, did you also change the studs or keep OEM ? |
