Yes they will fit. I can run either 12.5 or a 15mm. The 15mm though, depending on the tire will rub not on the fender but on the inner bumper cover under full compression. I run 235/40-18 and mine rub on the upper edge of the bumper cover. Another thing you may want to do if you have not done so is do the M3 control arm swap. Add's a degree and a half more of camber (more or less). Camber plates are another option also.

I plan on trying the 12.5 for next track season here. That is a shot of my car coming into Brunnchen (Nurburgring).
