    liked these a lot, they were the ones you gave me on the front wheels. So much nicer cuz they had the slots for a screwdriver to pry off... the ECS ones on the rears took me about 15 min each to pry off.

    I have 10mm front and 12mm rear. I'm fairly happy with my rears (rubbed on stock suspension on BIG dips, and very very minor rubbing) and my fronts seem a little too sunk in for me. I'm thinking I'll try 12-15mm for the front next.

    Also note that with my 12mm spacers with my H&R kit, I haven't rubbed once.

    Thanks for the help guys, I plan on getting 12mm rear and 15mm front sometime. The space between the wheel and fender is really annoying me.

    Through my research it seems like a 12mm in rear and 15mm in front is a good setup that most likely won't rub except for big dips (looks pretty flush).

    Gary swears by 10mm and 12mm on his vert, so that's what I go for mine. I'll let you know how they fit.

    Whats the biggest spacers I could fit on the rear without rubbing bad? I really like it when the back looks wide, would 15mm rear work?

    given that the coupe ZHP sits lower than the sedan, i assume that the same spacers would produce different effects on OEM wheel/tire setup between the two body styles...am i wrong?

    Some great info here. I am trying to decide if I want to put my spacers on.

    The 10mm Spacer Dilemma
    10mm wheel spacers are one of the most common spacer sizes out there. However, what a lot of people don't realize is that a 10mm size is not a true fitment on any BMW. It's considered a "tuner" fitment, meaning some extra thought is usually required to correctly install them. Only with the right combination of parts will a 10mm spacer fit without a vibration or other fitment issues.

    When looking to buy spacers for my zhp I could not find too much info/pictures. I ended up buying 15mm spacers all around and gorilla 17013 lug bolts (40mm). The rear on my coupe works great. I had zero rub on stock springs. Now that the car is lowered on hotchkis springs (almost zero gap) it rubs a little if I have a big load in the truck and a full tank. It rubs on the rear fender liner by the back bumper not the actual fender. On the front when I put the 15mm on I was afraid I was going to rub fender. Most likely it would not but I don't want to take the chance. I am going to have my 15mm machined down to either 12mm or 10mm. Also with the 15mm on the front the front wheels look like they stick out further than the rears. Also if you are running stock springs I would recommend to get just 15mm rear spacers. On the front with stock springs 15mm spacers looks really goofy IMO because of the larger wheel gap. I will take better pictures but here are a few cell phone pictures I have for reference. I hope this helps people who are looking to buy spacers in the future for their coupe.

    Front stock springs 15mm spacers


    Rear stock springs 15mm spacers


    Front lowered 15mm spacers




    Not a great angle but hotchkis springs 15mm rear spacers no spacers in the front
