And please report in if you experience rubbing in any situation (3 or 4 passengers, or if you hit a big dip, or if the wheel is turned lock-to-lock, etc.). Thanks.
Just installed 15mm in front and 13mm in rear. Front rub very slightly for me when moving in reverse, and weight is shifted slightly forward. Moving forward, no issues. Again, my experience, 15mm has slight rubbing so I would think 18mm would definitely be a problem. My car has P-zeros fwiw, since tires are not exactly identical, when talking about mms.

They make a 13mm?

And interesting that it's rubbing in the front with 15mm, in reverse, but not when you have multiple passengers, or when you hit a big dip in the road, or when you turn the steering wheel from lock to lock. I'd assume if it rubs in reverse, that in one of these aforementioned scenarios, it will begin to rub as well. Hmmmmm...

Thanks for the update!

I bought spacers from burger tuning because IND was out of stock. They have 10, 13, and 15. The rubbing comes from the front plastic wheel liner on the outside turning wheel when in reverse if that makes sense. If I’m backing up with the back of my car going right (towards passenger side) then the front left tire rubs slightly the plastic liner. If I go super slow, it doesn’t rub, but at a normal pace the weight distributes to the front of the car compressing the suspension just enough to make it hit.

Strange.. I've had ZERO issues with rubbing with FC spacers!

This is has discussed at length. Seems like the P-Zero's rub a little bit in reverse at full lock on the front only and the Michelin's don't.

I'm installing 15's on the front with Pirelli's and 10's on the rears. I'll swap them around if they rub badly or else just run 10's on the front. The rear doesn't need much IMO

What is the "Wheel Hanger Pin Set" listed as an option in the IND website?

A wheel hanger pin enables you to easily align the spacer and rim holes with the hub hole. You simply screw one pin in one hole, install the other 4 lug bolts, then remove the pin and install the fifth bolt. It saves aggravation of the spacer moving out of alignment as you try to align the rim with the hub.

You can find them on Amazon as well -- just be sure to get the M14-1.25 thread (for Gxx BMWs).

Not all tire measurements are equal.

It looks like the most popular setup per IND is 15F/12R. Does this offset size even out the wheels so they're at the same depth? It's a little hard for me to tell by the photos.

TIA

I ordered 15 and 13 from BMS as well since IND is out of 12mm. They are still en route.
Now I’m a bit worried if those will be too wide.
I saw this video where they installed 10 in the front and 15 in the back.

I can confirm if you have the Pirelli’s the 15 will rub up front. For me it only rubbed left front wheel when in reverse with the steering wheel turned right. There is a cooler right in front of the fender liner on the left side. That fender liner has small vents that pass through to the wheel well. After one time of me backing into my driveway 3 of the plastic vents broke which I am having to go and replace. I am going to change to 12 or maybe 10 up front. Moral of the story if you got the Michelin’s you won the spacer lottery too.

Watching the video on the oem 4s tire development I keep wondering what’s the negative impact of using spacers on handling.

I have PS4S's on my G80. 15mm up front and 13mm in back. No rubbing, even with passengers in the car.
