Holler from Finland, and sorry for another ET/rubbing topic.
There were so many topics about good fitment and rubbing issues, that I didn't have the time to scroll them all down.

I have an e90 pre-lci with a summersetup: front 8,5*19 ET35 / rear 10*19 ET35.
Running on 225/35 Hankook S1 evo and 265/30 Hankook V12 evo.
Lowered on H&R Sport springs.

I was thinking 10mm spacer in the front and 6mm spacer in the back.
I'm not going to roll my fenders, so would like to know which would be the thickest spacers to run with without any rubbing issues. Even with car full of people.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Do 12-15 front. You should just roll your rear fenders and do a 10mm spacer so it is hubcentric.

Rolling the rear fenders isn't going to happen, even if I wanted to. My fenders were painted 2 years ago when I bought the car so there plastic-padding or something filler under the paint. I'm afraid that the painted surface might crack. Also, Finnish roads are heavily salted during the winter so rolling would only make the rusting issue worse.

12mm in the front sound good. I looked at some photos from last summer without any spacers and that verified my plans. I don't want the front to stuck out too much compared to rear. My biggest question mark are the rear spacers. I measured it and looks like the gap between tire and fender is about 10mm as it is in the narrowest point(et35). I'm juggling here, to go with 6mm or take a risky chance and go with a 8mm???

That makes sense. You could probably trim your rear fenders if you need to.

Just to make sure. I'm trying to get as flush look as I can without any work in the fender section.

So does anyone know by sure, what is lowest offset in the rear with zero rubbing??? He/she gets to wear the unofficial crown of knowledge what comes to e90. haha.

Too many variables to be sure. There are cars that have get away without rubbing with:

Basically 5mm spacer for rear in your case would be safest. Front i would do 12mm. By the way i have extra 5mm HR spacers.

Thank you very much my fellow countrymen, MonacoBlueE90!

You are now crowned as an unofficial king of offsets for e90.

I'm gonna go 12mm in the front and 6mm in the rear.
MonacoBlueE90, if the price is right I might be interested. PM your offer ja katotaan tuleeko kaupat.

I'm still going to order those 12mm from schmiedmann so the 6's would come with same mailing costs.
