Gary,

Last week I ordered a set of Dunlop Super Sport Races (265/35ZR18) for my M3. Any idea what spacer size (if any) I'll need on the fronts for my OEM 18's?

Also, I ordered online with your name in the order, I'm hoping bfest/you got credit for the purchase.

Thanks,
Alex

With stock suspension, none.

With that other stuff, it depends on your ride height.

Was that the same with your Hoosiers?

Alex,

Thanks, then I'm able to credit the forum with the sale as well (they get a portion of the proceeds) :thumbup:

Unfortunately we don't have any experience with running the 265/35R18 up front on the OEM 18" so we're not sure if spacers would be needed or what sizing you might need.

Sorry I could not be of more help on this one.

The big key is that the stock suspension will let the tires actually ride UNDER the spring perch, so as long as the overall diameter stays reasonable, you're good.

Put coil overs on, and the perch may start hitting the tires. Idiot here forgot to check that one, and noticed the rub when he saw the smoke. :eek:
