Had anyone gone thru that using spacers without any problems?
I tracked my M3 with 15mm spacers up front (to clear BBK) and no issues.

I just recently put spacers on my G37, replacing the studs and had a slight vibration at around 70 mph, but it was fixed using this: DIY: Wheel spacer vibration fix - G35Driver
Seems to be that it happens with the two piece spacers because there isn't enough lip for the wheel to mate up to.

Look on my previous posts for pictures. I'm running 20 in the front and 15 in the rear. Like someone else mentioned, it depends what look you're going for.

It depends on what your going for. The front tucks in a little more then the rear. I would recommend 20/15 combo for that subtle clean look or 25/20 if you want that really flush look.

Here's my 20/15

I agree, most go with 20 front and 15 rear spacers, the reason is if you want to widen your tires to 245 front and 275 rear, you wont rub.

This is the perfect setup IMO - slightly lower than the Eibachs for the perfect drop. Plus the Swift springs have very good ride quality, the best Ive seen from an aftermarket spring.

Wait, the Swifts are lower than the Eibachs? A few responses earlier, blnewt said that the Eibachs are lower. So which is it?

Hmmmm. The previous posters weren't making that distinction. They seemed to be implying that the Swifts (or Eibachs) were lower front AND back.

According to the claims off their respective websites:

Swift
Front: 1.3"
Rear: 1.0"

Eibach Prokit
Front: 1.2"
Rear 0.8"

I'd imagine swifts have a slightly larger drop over Eibach. I think with the Swifts the rear looks lower than the front. Eibach looks like there's a tad more rake, but the gap between wheel and fender is a lot closer front/rear.
