Do you guys think it will rupp in the rear? Any experiences?

The comp package comes with wider tires. That setup would work but would be aggressive if you reversed the fitment. 15mm front and 12mm rear. That should be a rub rub fitment.

I'll play,

Probably going back to my stock 437 wheels with 255/35 & 285/35 mps4s tyres. Have KW HAS springs set at a mid height.

Thoughts on spacers for that one, flush no rub?

Cheers,

12 mm front and back definitely rubbed with stock suspension and pilot sport 4s Tyres.

On the comp pack sizes, front, rear or both? And turning rub or guard rub?

Surprised on stock suspension.

Front and Rear spacers. Comp pack sizes.

Rear was definitely rubbing with two passengers.

Cheers,

no problem with 10mm front and rear on above setup but i would move to a 265 front tyre.
any more than 10 and I think you will rub

I'd love to throw a 265 up front but I'm concerned about inner rub of the KW perch.

cheers,

Stock 437 rims as I first said so ET29.

No matter now, ordered PSS tyres today for my 20 inch aftermarket rims currently fitted. Got a good price, no more thinking.

Just fitted 12mm rear and 15mm front on my M4 together with an Eibach PRO-KIT (5-10mm lowering rear and 20mm lowering front).

I would maybe have gone with 10mm rear and 12mm front, if i had to do it again, as i think the tyres are just a tiny bit wider than top arches.

Travishksar · 03-05-2018, 11:05 AM

15 front 12 rear

Looking for spacer recommendation for M3 CP - I'm planning to drop as well, haven't decided on spacers just yet.

From what I've reviewed in this thread 12/10 is perfect for CP, will that be fine with springs as well?

Sounds like you're done your homework, 12/10 will be optimal - even with springs.

hey Tom, any pic for M4 with 19 in stock wheel? What's the typical/good size for 19"? Thx

How do you like the eibach? How's the ride and handling from stock?

moonshine89 · 03-14-2018, 10:55 AM

Just to be clear...15F/12R will rub on a competition m3 with stock suspension?

There's a ton of 19" pics in the thread. Are you ZCP or non ZCP?

12/15 will rub due to the wider wheel/tire sizes on ZCP. I would recommend 12F/10R in your case.

I am non-zcp, I'm also interested in lower springs (just-right level). Any recommendation for the combo springs + spacers? I am very new to mods in general and don't want to damage the car too much

Non Comp I would recommend a 15mm front and 12mm rear. I would recommend the Macht Schnell springs to pair with the spacers. OE like ride quality and not too aggressive of a drop. Attached is a picture of that combo.

Thank you, it looks great, I actually saw your blog of this car. Can you PM me with pricing installed at your shop?

MPoweRo · 03-15-2018, 04:48 AM

Any pics of 5mm spacers with 666m?

You can feel that it is a bit more firm when driving on bumpy roads. But in general, i don't feel much of a difference to be honest.
