230's with spacers

Jeef · 09-22-2011, 05:58 PM

Some input on 15mm rear and 10mm front spacers for stock 230's? Also will I rub?

No drop = No
Drop = Yes

how low of a drop? will h&r sport springs make it rub?

The best way to determine the sized spacer you should purchase would be to measure how much clearance you have.

Jeef · 09-26-2011, 12:15 PM

I did measure I just wasn't sure if 15mm and 10mm would rub

It really depends on the type of tire and whether or not you are pairing up those H&R sports with Koni's. I'll give you my example and anybody else may chime in if I'm right or wrong. I'm lowered on H&R sports & Koni yellows with 19x9.5 ET33 rears. I used to rub in the rear when hitting a dip. (fenders rolled now). With the factory 230's with ET39 and adding a 15mm spacer will make it ET24. By knowing that, I think it would rub without a doubt. That's just my opinion?

If you're afraid of rubbing or are unsure going with a smaller spacer would probably be best. Just double check your measurements and see what you come up with.

Jeef · 10-03-2011, 01:34 PM

but thanks for the help i am going to go with 15 mm in rear and 10 mm in front

Are you rubbing w this set up?

emre · 10-11-2011, 03:40 AM

12mm with OEM 19" and 265/30 tires do rub when hitting dips.
Very slight fender rolling solved the problem.

I have the BMW Performance Suspension ; sits 5mm lower in the rear and 15mm lower in front compared to M Sport Suspension.

Yes Jeef, 12mm front and rear.

engotski · 12-14-2011, 02:07 AM

235 tires with 10mm or 12mm spacer for front? That would make it 19x8 et 27 or 25 fronts...im thinking 12mm is pushing it. Im on kw v1 about finger gap or slightly less

Im slightly rolled on the rear so im going with 265 tires and 15mm spacer
