As soon as my 90 mm wheel studs from Vorslag Motor sports come next week I plan to go out in the driveway and play with spacers. I have Rouge Engineering 12 mm spacers and an old 18 mm H&R set from a E36 M3. I Plan to try them with some 18" wheels with 265 35 track tires with a square setup from my E46 M3. I can't do much other than try them on because I only have 2 of my track wheels. The other 2 are in North Carolina with my son. I want to see if it is worth the effort & expense to get them up here. If it is not too hot, I will do it as soon as the studs arrive next week and take pictures.
BtW I would advise getting Studs. It is so much easier to change tires with them. Since I am a lady, I don't have the strength to slap the tires on with bolts. I use the studs with the 19 mm Alloy wheel nuts from Rogue Engineering. These are longer than the usual nuts. I have SSR wheels and the opening are very tight. Also they don't rust. Another thing about the Rogue Engineering spacers is they have a place for you to pry them off with a screw driver head. Again because I am not strong the spacer can be a b**ch to get off after a winter. The above is essentially the setup I have been using since 1994 with my first BMW.
Hope this helps.
