Wheel Spacer recommendation?
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.

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? |

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.

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 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.

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. |

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??

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