D DPG Veteran West Yorks Aug 1, 2013 #2 I don't think you need spacers. Some have said that you may get a bit of rubbing if using the tyres recommended for the M. Plenty have done it so someone will be along with the correct answer.

N Nathanhu Member Aug 13, 2013 #20 The rears have 265/40/18 pilots fitted I had a quick spin yesterday and it was a lot quieter than the run flats I have on the 108's No rubbing to report, but ill take a spin up the autobahn later and see how it is under load
