A note about 10mm spacers: Any 10mm spacer is considered a custom fitment. The stock hubcentric lip on BMWs can stick out by as much as 11mm. A 10mm spacer will bottom-out and leave a gap between the spacer and the hub which seriously compromises safety. The best way around this is using a larger spacer (12mm and larger do not have this issue) or check that the lip sticks out less than 10mm. In some cases you can modify the hub lip to get the 10mm spacer to fully seat on the hub.
I have 12 mm all around on my car with stock springs and I have some rubbing when I have a passenger in the rear seat when I hit a swale. Funnily it only started happening when I switched from PS2s to PSS's. In stock sizes the PSS are wider than the PS2s.
+1 I run Macht Schnell 10's on my fronts with my summer wheels. No issues other than I seem to be the only m5 that rubs against the wheel well liner on cornering :/
Thanks guy's for your feedback. I'm liking the 20mm front, 15mm rear with stock springs. Going to check on wheel well lip rolling option as I have done that to my 2001 S4.
I have stock wheels with PSS and 15mm rear, rubs like hell with passengers, and over moderate bumps, switching to 12mm rear.
Fronts are perfect, only rubs in extreme cases
well i have 20 inch vertini magics. 20x8.5 et18 and 20x10 et 25, tires are PS a/s 3's 255/35/20 and 285/30/20 i purchased black spacers and black studs from a site on ebay, i went with 15mm in the front and 12mm in the rear. front have no issues and rears rubbed on hitting bumps, i shaved some of the inner fender, and now it rubs rarely but i'll go back under there to see where it's rubbing now. i'm sure it's something minor. but overall i like the look. i'll post pics later.
