Need Help from all you lowered guys

I have KW HAS coming in soon, am currently on 255/35/19 and 305/30/20. I am trying to figure out what size spacers I need, I will probably end up going with a 265/35/19 and a 295/30/20 but need help with spacer brands and sizes

I have a coupe running oem 19/20 black forged wheels with 18mm square. Im relatively slammed with the PSS tires and I doubt I could go to 295 with the PSS and the 18mm set up. I think you will be safe with 15mm square but others will need to chime in.

As for brands, I got mine from SupremePower in Fullerton, CA. They make their own via private label and I have them on my R8 (pre aftermarket wheels) and RS7.

Your car was the first one I saw and looks amazing slammed, but I don't think I can go that low for the roads I have, how low did you drop it? I was thinking 20mm

I was running 12mm spacers in the rears with 295s, looked good and fit well. NO rubbing/scrubbing whatsoever

17 C63 S Coupe

Lowered on KW V3's & running a 295 at the rear. Rear to me fit fine but I need a spacer on the front to make it more flush with the rear. I might do a 12 MM or 15 MM.

front was the only issue? Hmmm 255/35 stock wheels? Are you saying your h&r is adjustable?

2010 C63

I just got picked up a w205 c63s and am looking to get rid of the gap using H&R springs. Any more people have any input/experience with them? Do they add too much camber? Do they feel too low? Any additional photos of them on stock wheels? The kw v3s on my m3 were too much, and loved the h&r springs on my w204 c63. Expecting (hoping for) the same experience on the w205 c63s, but any advice/input from folks who've already been down that route is most appreciated.
