BTW- FC is no better than H&R- same materials, same snout, same hubcentric qualities. Ive been using H&R all my grow up spacer modding life LOL.

Right now I have H&R on my:

G80
R8
C63 BS
M8

Your M3 looks better than any BMW commercial by the way!!
Fully agree that H&R has solid quality. However both H&R and FC don‘t offer 10mm (I guess due to hub lip being 12mm). Any other serious brand offering 10mm spacers for our cars?
What about Front 10mm and Rear 5mm. Would this improve handling and create a bit more oversteer?

I seriously doubt you will have any oversteer issues by pushing the same track out (tires remain static).

I dont even know if 5mm will work as the spacer isnt big enough to create the hubcentric snout which means you need the oem snout and you might not have enough of it left with the 5mm on it.

10mm to 12mm is negligible, I think 12mm squared is your best bet especially if you are not lowering.

From what I read I went with 15 for Front and 12 for rear. Thanks for all the advise everyone.

NO! Got Pirelli on the car, not Michelin.

Ordered the Michelin replacements today and now need to sell the Pirellis which have never been used. Ouch!

I went with 15 front & 13 rears.... hopefully I win the tire lottery with the Michelins. It seems like some people rub with the PZeros & some dont?

Perhaps all down to the alignment in that case.

this is what a 15mm spacer looks like on an 826M wheel from below- no rubbing and Im lowered via MSS HAS (30mm rear)

disregard the dirty car lOL
