What spacer for a flush rear fitment

moveswiftly · 06-18-2009, 01:30 PM

I have a 325xi with style 156 wheels at et34 all around on 225/50/16 tires on Michelin pilot exalto pe2 tires. I want a flush figment for the rear wheels against the fender. I have my car lowered on h/r sport springs and my rear fenders are rolled. What mm spacer should I use for a flush but not rubbing fitment

i guess 15mm spacers should do it!

What I would recommend you do is get a ruler and measure how much tire to fender clearance you have to work with and adjust accordingly with spacers. Each tire has different characteristics so the general # may not be accurate for others.

you will never be able to get it flush... you would need a 36mm spacer, which doesn't exist. so basically get the 18mm spacers and it'll look better than what you have now.

My gap is a little less than 40 mm about 36mm as montreal_bimmer said. So I should Go with 18Mm?
