[QUOTE="Zul, post: 601463, member: 173"] Wow, 20 mm spacer... I think that is too much unless U modify your fender... I'm using 15 mm for my front and 10 mm for rear. On the previous M3 I've used 15 mm front and 12 mm rear. Be careful when U used thicker spacer because basically it reduce the ofset of your setup. If too much your tyre will rub your fender. The 15 and 12 mm is the max for e92 M3 with style 220 and the 15 and 10 mm is the max for style 359. For non-M I'm not so sure, have to measure. If U plan to lower your car then put the spacer only after U lowered the car. Spacer adv vs disadv have a lot of discussion if U search fpr it in the web. A lot of people used it and tell u there is no problem and al lot of people will tell U that it will cause early wear and tear. In the end U'll get confused and have to make your own choice. As ALBundy mentioned, the track become wider in the evolution of the car. IMO it gives more stability on cornering. Just make sure U use a good quality, hub centric with corresponding longer nuts. Most 'branded' wheel spacer with come with the correct length nuts. [/QUOTE]
