I'll be doing the exact same setup as you are proposing. Consensus on various posts seems to be 12mm front, 10mm rear.

I am on MP HAS & run…12 mm F / 10mm R when the 666m are on the car. Some go more aggressive but in my opinion, it looks great and is relatively conservative.

QQ - Stud conversion? If not, are you considering?

I have studs on my M2 and M4 that allow for 15mm spacers, they sure make it easy to line up wheels and spacers with the hub.

I read people going same size all around too. Is it just a preference square vs staggered?

People run different sizes F/R just for looks basically. You can get 12mm front and rear and it will be fine.

I have spacers on my 666s with MP HAS

EAS recommends 12mm in the front and 10mm in the back on 666s.

They also recommend more in the front than the back (for driving dynamics I believe), so when I asked them if it would be better to go 12F/12R or 15F/12R, they said better for the 15/12 combo.

That's what I did (15F/12R) and I have ZERO issues so far (see pics below).

If you want to be conservative, 12F/10R sounds like the option for you.

We do the 12mm front and 10mm most commonly on a comp package. We got quite a few examples in our spacer reference thread if you wanted to look through there for examples

I got TLG mudflaps in the front in anticipation for the spacers. I think it's been ok so far.

What is your drop with the HAS?

It appears the rear is much lower than front...I see a larger gap in front?

625 Front; 605 Rear on a half tank of gas.

I don't want the front too low and I don't want the car looking like it leans forward too much. I want it to look level front to back.

Spacers def accentuate the front wheel gap. I may lower it a bit, but I'm okay with it so far.

The foam shows the drop the best.

Yeah. IMO it’s not level. Front has larger gap. I’d raise rear a smidge. If it was mine obviously.

I just had 12f/10r spacers installed and lowered on KW HAS. The spacers does help the car look more "full" now that it is lowered.

Took some measurements when I got home:
F 610
R 610

Overall it's a bit low for me and may raise it a little.
