what is this RKP fender clearance?
Because i rub in the front with my 1000m wheels, 11mm spacer

Would love a more aggressive look - but not** at the risk of poor handling or damage. This is a good read...some pro's and potential cons... this has me leaning more toward 10mmfr/15mmbk.

possibly because the front with the pzeros will rub under certain conditions with 12+. If you want a flush look though the front needs a bigger spacer than the rear. Personally i think 10 is good in the rear, and i'm running 15 front with ps4s.

The front is sunk in more on the M4 than the M3 so some run wider spacers in the front because of that
15mm all around is an aggressive and great look on the M4

I got P zero so I just went with 10f/12r it’s not aggressive but I think enough for me. And no rubbing.

Took off my 15mm &12mm spacers on G87. My cousin has a G20 m340i with x-drive. Anyone here with x-drive cars run different size spacers? I'm assuming there shouldn't be issues but you never know.

Reading all this is making me think for the stock height M3 with 19's at front and 20's ar rear running 10mm front spacers and 12 mm at the back is the best bet to make them look more aggressive all the while guaranteeing that there is no rubbing? That's the consensus right?

I do have Michelin tires, so is the above the best bet that guarantees no rubbing or is there a more aggressive combo that also guarantees no rubbing? Thanks!

Gentlemen, reading thru various threads leaves me a bit confused. Picking up a G82 M4 this Saturday with Kalyami CF buckets. I will be lowering on H&R which slams it quite a bit. Stock competition wheels which will be wrapped in mew Michelin PS4S at 285/30/19 and 295/30/20 as soon as I get it to Miami. What spacers will leave me flush with no rubbing or scraping? Front vents I know about, those will be swapped for the mesh liners from Alibaba. Maybe 15mm FR and 13mm Rear? Some folks run smaller up front and wider in the rear. On the F82 it was much easier. Please let me know, thanks!
