Has anyone with spacers had a lot or noticeable debris impact the sides of the car with the extra wheel / tire protrusion ?

Curious as well…

No, I added TLG mud flaps and had bottom portion of car PPF'd. If you don't do this, you will have beat up paint in no time.

That's why I went with 12 mm upfront. I wanted to minimize the debris hitting the side of the car. The 12 FR and 15 Rear seem to be flush. I have had them on for over a week and have no noticeable difference on the amount of dust/dirt on the side of the vehicle.

I have been told to go the opposite way, but I'm thinking of following your lead.

This is why I put 15mm on the rear.

I'm still trying to get a handle on everyone's options and experiences with this topic. This is the first time I think I'd be using spacers and I do feel there is a need for them.

Looking to install the KW HAS with the 826 wheels for the time being (G80 RWD). Thoughts on a good look that's not overly aggressive for this setup.

has anybody done spacers on the 18/19 wheels? Looking to do flush kit and springs on mine

Sorry to rehash an old thread, but just want to confirm with you guys, P0’s, Xdrive, M3, 12F/15R, will this be ok without any rubbing in the front? I feel anything less then 12 in the front , you just won’t be able tell the difference. Do you guys agree?

Looks great! Any rubbing at full lock when turning? I got 10F and 12R because someone posted that as a recommendation for OEM wheels with Pirelli tires.

Yeah I had rubbing on 3/4 reverse only---nothing going forward. My shop cut the fins and that issue was resolved.
