Could anyone recommend the best or most preferred wheel spacers for a 2023 M3 xDrive Competiton? I am running P4S tires and would like to run 15mm in the front and 12mm in the rear.

That or 12mm all around.

Either way however which brand would be best. I was considering Dinan spacers however can't really find any reviews about them.

How about Future Classic?

All reputable brands like BMS, MAD, Future Classic, and Macht Schnell are reliable. I recommend choosing the best deal in stock and ready to ship.

I've used BMS and MAD and never encountered any issues with either brand.

I am going to go with 15mm in the front and 12 in the rear just to be safe.

I would like to get KW HAS springs and lower the car a tad bit to give it a nice stance and avoid rubbing.

I didn't answer your brand question. I'm using the BMS spacers and they look/fit great.

Is your car lowered on the eibachs?

I'm using 15mm spacers and have my car lowered with H&R VTF, which looks fantastic. However, I needed the RKP fender clearance in the front to prevent any rubbing issues.

I see. Do the fenders only rub in the back or front as well?

They rub in the front when you turn your wheel. The back doesn't turn so it's generally fine.

I just mounted 15mm front / 12mm rear (following IND recommendation from old thread) with PS4S. I get minor rubbing in front at certain steering angles when in reverse (at <5 mph) into parking spaces. More specifically, it seems left front only with steering turned to the right about halfway between straight-ahead and full lock.

Is your car lowered? If so what brand of suspension and how low?

If you lower the car with stock wheels on the OEM Michelin or Pirellis and go with 15mm, you’ll most likely rub at full lock, usually when reversing.

I would recommend 15mm front 12mm rear, BMS, H&R, and MAD are all good options.

Search for IND’s thread that shows the visual differences between the different width spacers to get a better idea of what it will look like.

To prevent rubbing when the car is lowered with a 15mm spacer in front, you can shave the vent blades in the front of the wheel area.

That makes sense but how low really. I live in Canada and our roads are crap. I definitely wouldn't go too low. I was considering probably 1 inch mostly for the front.

What if I went with 12 mm all around and lowered? Would it rub?

Stock suspension. Rubbing is against the vent blades, as noted above. If too bothersome, I'll shave them or remove the spacers. Given the range of roads I drive daily, I don't want to lower the suspension.

Same here man. I'm in Canada and the roads here are crap. Lowering too much would not be fun.

Watched a few video's on spacers for g82's - most have smaller spacers up front and larger in the rear (10/12f and 15r). I see a lot of guys putting larger ones up front...?? better handling??

(on this site, that is..)

No one puts spacers on for handling, just for looks and what works for you without rubbing.
