OEM CSL's and spacers

I have a set of OEM CSL's ready to go on once the tyres have been fitted and I have a set of 12mm spacers for the front.

Is anyone running or has anyone run 12mm spacers on the rear?

Iv run a 10" rear wheel with an ET20 offset on my last M so logic says it should fit... but the tyre was slightly stretched as it was a 265 (Vredstein) whereas a 265 tyre (PSS) on a 9.5" wheel may give a squarer profile and possibly foul the arch?

My car is not lowered and at this moment I don't intend to lower it either (London Speed bumps :| )
 
You'll be lucky buddy

Not much room with mine on
Running 265 235 MSS
 
Shouldn't be necessary. 10-12mm on the front and nothing on the rear is about right. Mine are on the limit with 275/30 rears.
 
Running 10mm on the rear and 12mm on the front of mine and lowered on eibachs.

Fag paper stuff but no rubbing. On vreds btw as tyres will make a difference too.
 
5mm spacers and Michelin Supersports in 265 lowered on eibach rubs ever so slightly, would need more camber to go with bigger spacers.

On standard height car I actually think the wheels would stick out?
 
Thanks for the replies, hopefully I'll get the wheels fitted this week and I'll get some pictures up.

Seems odd that a 10" ET20 rear (BBS CH) fitted easily with no rubbing but a 9.5" ET27 with a spacer probably won't...
 
From memory I reckon a 275 would have fitted and there was plenty of gap between the tyre and the arch as the pictures show.

I'll trail fit the 12mm spacers on the rear once I get the tyres fitted and see what happens.
