e92 m3 reps with 10mm spacers on e90?

Im wondering if this would work or not or look retarded. Im worried the offsets for the rear of the m3 reps is going to be too tucked in (et35) but I dont feel safe using 5mm spacers. any advice would be appreciated. thanks

I think 25 will be too much. But there is no reason to not try. I have 12 on my 230s, but they are only 9 inches wide with an effective offset of 27. You may have to have the rear fenders rolled.

I had 15mm on my 230's and it didnt rub but this might be pushing it. what do you think park, m3 reps or 230's.

how wide are the m3 reps? you're running a sedan so if they're 19x9.5 a +25 offset sits really nice (and aggressive). I've got those specs on my wheels and it looks great, rubs a little but fender rolling will take care of that

I think you should go with a 5mm spacer and get NO rubbing issues, but if you want it more aggressive then go to the 10mm spacer and roll your fenders.

Just try it, if the 10 is too big, either roll the fenders, or put on a 5 mm.

I dont think they have 5mm hubcentric ones and Im worried they wont sit on the hub and will put too much stress on the bolts.

At least use them for a month! You bought them for some reason.

10mm sounds good to me, just roll those fenders if you need to.

I think you can get away with 10mm. I know several E90s that are running ET22 CSLs on 265/30/19 and don't rub.
