Hi! Anybody out there who got oem 166 wheel with 285/30/19 rear, 12mm spacer? I cant decide whether to still add 12mm spacer and not rubbing on a stock sport suspension. Pls post pictures. Thanks

I'm using style 128s with 285/30/19 PS2s and 12mm spacers. stock offset is 32mm on the 9.5" wheel. Stock m5 rears are 9.5" wide with a 28mm offset. yours would stick out more than mine by 4mm. I love the look, however, I do get some very light rubbing if I have rear passengers or I go over a large bump. it's minor, but you can see some evidence of it on the sidewall that just rubs off. I had my fenders rolled, but i think either not low enough on the front edge or the tire is rubbing somewhere else, although I can't find signs of it. I never had any rubbing with the previous 275s.

Either go 275/30 or ditch the spacers, you are definitely going to have rubbing problems with another 4mm offset on top of what i'm running (effectively 20mm offset, you would be at 16mm.) I'd even be concerned with 275s, 28mm wheels and a 12mm spacer.

(ps the picture in my sig does NOT have the spacers)
