313s - what spacers?

Anyone fitted spacers with their 313s? Ive got a pre-LCI so from my knowledge they have a smaller rear track.

I've measured and think 10mm all round is best. Just wondering if anyone has got away with a a larger spacer?

Boz kindly sent me pics of his old 335 but he was running default tyres 225/255. I've up-sized my tyres to 235 and 265.

Really want to avoid rubbing as i use my car everyday for work.

I've got 15mm front and rear. No rubbing even under load. (I did have 20mm rears, but rubbed like crazy over bumps ect.

Mines not lowered, think you might struggle with 15mm lowered!

Rich, can you send me the pic of Bozs car? I'm considering getting some spacers, although after I've lowered the car. Mine is an LCI E92 with standard tyres 225/255.

I've got an LCI with 313's on std tyres plus Msport suspension

Running 12 spacers both front and rear without any rubbing, looks flush

I have 15mm in the rear and sits nicely flush, I do get the odd slight rub in really bad dipps in the road but very rare.
