Hey Tom,
Just ordered spacers from EAS yesterday. I got 20mm F and 18mm R. I was measuring the distance from the outer part of the wheels to the outer part of the wheel wells.
I got a measurment of 18mm in the front and 17mm in the back. With this generation model do you guys recommend the same size spacers front and back or are my measurements incorrect? I konw with the E92 M3 the front wheels definitely needed a 3mm larger spacer in the front compared do the rear so they would match up.
What is the discrepency with the F80?
Thanks!!

This thread will serve as a reference to help make their decision based on the above criteria.
