Spacers

[orca48]

Looking to put a set of spacers on my Z4C, looking for advice from you lot

10mm/12mm/15mm front
15mm/20mm rear

You input will be gratefully received

What advice do you want? It's a bit of a vague question :lol:

I had 25mm on the rear and there was no rubbing.

Sorry

I want to put spacers on, don't want it to be to chavvy.

I was thinking of 15mm on front and 20mm on rear, has anyone got photos to show me what it would look like

What wheels are you running? If you're running 18's with standard offsets then 15mm front and 20mm rear is a fairly popular choice.
There is plenty of topics regarding the subject. Bare in mind that some have experienced rubbing on the front with spacers added, the wheel arch liners can wear through on the corners.

For a quick reference mine:
12mm front (Rubbed on the arch liners)
15mm rear (No problems).
P.S. Running stock suspension.



All down to personal preference

Here are some pics of 15/20mm: http://www.z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=65393

I did 12/15mm: http://www.z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=76160

The front arch liners are a major pain in the butt! They protrude a little towards the bumper, hence the rubbing. I actually ended up having to replace one at a cost of nearly 100 quid due to this!

I'd say 10mm on the front should be OK. Rears can take anything up to 25mm easily. I've not had rubbing on them when I had them fitted.

Thanks guys, your advice is appreciated

looks like 10mm for front and possibly 20/25mm for the rear.
