Carl,

I'm running exactly that combo and had to do a little fender hammering on
the rears, but only a little - the first 45 degree bend section only and not
into the main section where the inner fenders come together.  I have only a
smidgen of clearance both in the rear now as well as the front spring
perches...but a smidgen is all I need.  My car is lowered and has front
camber plates, so I'm not sure if a stock suspension M3 would have to have a
spacer or not. Perhaps.

I like the same size all around..makes tire rotation easy as the camber
plates eat the inside fronts a bit.

Duane
