Hey all, new to the forums here and I need a little help deciding what size spacers to get for my car. It's a 2002 325i sedan. I'm rocking Broadway static coils with OEM BMW wheel style 162 wheels http://www.bmwstylewheels.com/bmw/162
They're 18x8 ET 34 in the front, 18x8.5 ET 37 in the rear, wrapped in nankang as-1 size 205/40 all around.
For now I'm mostly looking at spacers for the rear wheels because I want them to be flush with the car. I took some measurements by sticking a quarter to the end of a long piece of tape and taping it to the inside of my fender, I measured 18mm from the widest point of the wheel, which is the lip of the rim since they're concave and my tires are stretched so they taper away from the rim a bit. I was thinking 15mm spacers would probably bring the wheels to a pretty good place but would love to get some more input. My coils are 16/18k compression rates so there isn't too much vertical movement and I'm currently sitting with the lip of the rim just a little below the fender line. If there's any more helpful info I could share let me know and I'll include it.
Thanks in advance!
