Nothing!? Nothing at all???
Im gonna put tint probably only
I have been thinking about doing that. I don't want my 3 to be any louder and the stock tip is just so tiny and un-aggressive looking. CBE's are so expensive for the mz3 too. Maybe I need to shop around a bit and find a nice tip.
What I did today. Test fit 25mm spacers. I bought them for the rear but threw one on the front for giggles while it was in the air. I'll probably get some 15mm spacers for the front.
Rear wheel poke:
Front wheel poke:
Now I need a good fender roll and I'll be good to go. I can't drive it like this because my rear fender practically sits on the tire. I took it on a 5 minute drive and wore off some rubber and paint.

Chef, what size tires are those, can't see in the pics... 225/40? You'll probably have to dial in a tiny bit more camber in the rear even after the roll to completely prevent rubbing, but that sounds like it'll be a great setup with the spacers.
Agreed. I wish I could find a used set for the price I got these 25mm spacers for. It's amazing how a properly spaced wheel makes the car look more aggressive. My rear drop looks even lower now that the tire is pushed out.
Cali- yes they are 225/40. I'm only running around -1.3 in the rear now so I have a bit more to go and it will still be within spec.

I was just looking around Auto Zone one day and found a few that seemed pretty nice for those that wanted the OE quiet sound... and they weren't all that pricey either. Check 'em out.
15mm spacers should be about perfect actually. My 17" wheels are 17x7 +38 offset and they sit flush with the fenders according to my test fit. I do not have tires on them yet. The stock mz3 wheels with 15mm spacers will stick out the same distance as my 17" wheels.
Do you have stock suspension? You MIGHT need a fender roll if your tires rub but I can't say for sure whether they will or not.

Some of us are too poor to buy new wheels, even used ones for that matter.
i would never waste $100 on spacers for stock wheels
(and i think that price was only for 2)
$200 on spacers+sell your stock wheels for around $250 thats 450. throw down another 75 bucks or so and you can get new wheels, or if your lucky baller wheels that are used.
