I just ordered a set of wheels.

Fronts: 20x8.5 35mm offset will be running: 245/35/20 tire
Rears: 20x9.5 35mm offset will be running: 275/35/20 tire

I also plan to drop the car on Eibach springs.

What size spacers will I need if any? Want to get the spacers before the wheels show up.

Thanks for the A-sistance!

Wait for your wheels to show up, so you can get a proper measurement before wasting your money on the wrong size. I can tell you that on my 550 I put the spacers on before the drop and the wheels looked like they stuck out to far. After the drop they looked perfect. Patience brother...

I'd wait for the wheels and drop to see how it look.

I think you will find the rears to be fine without spacers, and that 12mm or even 15mm spacers in the front will be needed.

15 Front and 10 rear. Here is a picture of my car lowered on HR springs with 20" M5 style wheels. Front is 20x8.5 35 offset and the rear are 20x9.5 35 offset.

Found some pictures on my laptop of the wheels and drop before I installed the spacers...





That should give you an idea of what your wheels will look like without spacers. I am running 15mm Front and 10mm rear on Hankook tires.

My final specs are 20x8.5 20mm Front and 20x9.5 25mm

I am happy with the outcome. If time permits I will snap some pictures of the spacers installed so you can judge for yourself. I have not experienced any rubbing and regularly drive with rear seat passengers.

Also I originally ordered spacers off of ebay, I returned them for two reasons, first reason and the one that raised a red flag, the seller sent me regular length lug nuts ( not the required extended ) , second was quality. I immediately ordered spacers from burger tuning once I had discovered the lug nuts were the wrong size. I held on to the ebay spacers to compare them to the burger tuning spacers before I sent them back, the difference between the two was night and day. Without getting into too much detail and because I never installed the ebay spacers I felt much more comfortable going with the product sent to me by burger tuning.

Super helpful bro. Thanks! H&R is a lower drop than eibach as well. So you recommend 10 mm for the rear and 15 mm for the front then? I can order from bms since they stand by their product. Btw.. the flushness on your ride is sick.

Those pics shows the wheel fitment without spacers.

Everyone's suspension geometry is a bit different. There's a "one-size suits most" when just looking at width/offset combination. However, if you want something EXACTLY to your liking. As others have mentioned, I'd suggest doing a few measurements before purchasing the spacers

+1 I was advised against running a 10mm in the rear on a 9.5/35offset wheel, because of the chance it would poke/rub.

Not the case, the wheel sits flush to my liking.

Those are pictures before spacers. I will do my best to upload pictures with spacers.

Did the 15mm up front and 10mm rear bms spacers. Looks perfect with the eibach drop. Front used to be 4 fingers between the fender and top of the tire now it's 2 fingers. Same with the rear. Thanks for the helpful info guys!

What size are the tires all around? I ask because I am considering a 9.5 +22 square. The vendors are pushing for the +33 rear, but I get more wheel concavity with the +22, which is only a teensy 3mm more than your net offset; tire size is important though in this comparison.
