Vorsteiner V-FF 103 offset spacer

I'm trading a guy for a set of VFF103 wheels on his M3. he's running 5mm spacers in the front and says the offset was meant for a 335i so I think he said et 22.

the tpms is hitting on the calipers in the front just a little and bent in the fill spot maybe a tad.

what size spacer should I run in the front? 10mm? 15mm?

I'm looking at the valve stem hole for the VFF 103 and they look like they're in a normal spot.

Any chance that dude can snap you some pics and you can post them in here?

As far as the offset being non-M specific, you'll need at least a 10mm spacer to close up the gap.

can you run 15mm spacers without rubbing? I'd be running 235/35/19 and lowered on eiback springs

It honestly just depends on the specs of the wheels you're picking up.

Yeah I was gonna say, the valve stem on the pictures showed it is drilled in the "normal" position.
