Hi, can anybody tell me what is the best size wheel spacers to use on my E46 330ci Clubsport ?
I would like to fill the arches without having to have them rolled,
Thanks Gaz

Wheel spacers won't stop you having to roll your arches.

So is it best to leave as it is ?

I just think that wheel spacers will move the outside rim closer to the arch.
Is it just a case of filling the arches?
If this is the case then try some, you can always remove them and eBay them.
I can't advice you on spacers, I have never used them.
I would also be asking this question on E46zone, as no one is really replying on here.

I run 10mm Hubcentric spacers all round on my 330 Ci Convertible with no problems at all , you can go up to 12mm on the rears but I find 10mm fill the arches nicely .

I went for 15mm on the rear and 12mm front on my E61 to try and have a staggered look. I wouldn't advise on going much over if you have standard wheels as it starts to draw real attention to the wheel/tyre set up and can make the stance look a little arkward.
Styling is however subjective.

If you're on standard suspension and wheels and go for modest spacers then you won't need to have any arches rolled as there is room left for springs at full load and snow chains etc.
