My 2014 E63 is lowered with springs in the front links in the rear. I have 10mm spacers in the front 15mm rear and I scrape my front passenger fender on larger dips in the road anyone else experience this? From what I have read these spacers should be fine. Any ideas?

M-Theory

My 2012 is lowered and has 10mm front, 15mm rear spacers and it never rubs no matter the driving situation.

Yeah that's what I've seen, shouldn't be a problem. I don't get it, frustrating!

your camber settings may be a factor as to why you are scraping

PeterUbers

Did you do an alignment after lowering?

Same setup, factory spec p-zero tires, and I rub on dips too but on the drivers side. I can also hear it sitting still and just turning the wheel.

Not too sure what I'm going to do about it and just tucked the car away for winter. I'll probably take out the spacers in the front just to confirm that is what is rubbing and then go with a slightly thinner spacer, or no spacer at all, for the time being.

Another option that crossed my mind was just getting a 245 tire for the front instead of 255.

RichardCranium

Yes and the said they got it to factory specs

Was thinking that too going to have the shop that aligned it check camber.

I was thinking of going to an 8mm if I can't fix it with the 10mm

I was planning on doing 15mm spacers on all 4 wheels but not lowering the car at all. Any reasons why it seems many of you do 10's in the front and 15's in the rear?

I think 15mm in the front would push the wheels out too far I've seen some with 12.5mm in the front have never seen 15mm in the front.

Agree that with 15mm front spacers, yielding an offset of 22mm for stock 19x9 et37 wheels, fronts on non-lowered car would poke by about 8mm (or 1/3") at least. I think 5mm front spacers (for et32) will make front wheels flush enough. Even rear 15mm spacers on non-lowered car (with stock 19x9.5 et52 wheels) will result in a very small poke, so 12mm or even better 10mm rears spacers (for et42) would be better.

updog

forgot to ask, any suggestions on the brand of spacers? Looks like a number of manufacturers (including H&R) don't make them for both front and rear. Would appreciate any suggestions!

ECS tuning has quality spacers in every mm increments.
