Post your wheel spacer setup!

I myself have been searching through the forums and found many random threads on the topic of spacers but it would be easier if we just had one thread to lump it all into.

I myself have a 2011 E92 335i M Sport on 193 wheels and stock sport suspension. I also have two pair of BMS 15mm spacers that I'm scared to install in case they rub, and will probably send them back for some 8mm/12mm ones.

So post up your pics, and please try to include the following info.

Brand: (Doesn't really matter but we are all curious)
Size: Front / Rear (ex. 8mm / 12mm)
Suspension: Stock, H&R, etc
Rubbing: (None / on big dips / no with fenders rolled / yes with an elephant in the car)
And whatever else may be relevant that I'm leaving out.

Go!

Currently running stock 18" 189s on sport suspension:
12mm front - Perfectly flush / no rubs / highly recommended
15mm rear - Not flush / no rubs / putting 20mm on soon

Even though 15mm in the rear clears and looks better than stock the fact that the front is perfectly flush makes the rear look too far inset.

Sorry for lack of pictures, if I get the 20mm on before my coilovers i'll update this.

^^ felt liners?

Also, you have the sport suspension not stock. ~0.6" lower than stock. Still, I don't think you should have any possibility of rubbing the rear with a 12mm spacer but maybe you have different tires? Weird.

I have 15mm on my rear and I jumped my car 6" or so (accidentally) a few days ago and when I came down I didn't rub anything. (except my rear passenger's head against the roof)

I have the OEM Michelin run flats. Maybe the tire is sllightly wider than yours. 15mm did rub on the metal inner lip.
