H&R Springs/Tyre's/Spacers

I am looking to purchase the following and need some advice.

H&R Springs:
Front: 25mm
Rear: 15mm

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-M5-F1...MAAOSwcENc8tSL

Tyres: (Michelin Pilot Sport 4)
Front: 265/35/20
Rear: 305/30/20

Spacers:
Initially my thoughts have been 12mm all round, however this is what I am unsure on, would I require any spacers with the setup above? If so, what size without rubbing/scraping.

Just want that nice stance with no issues.

Please advise and if anyone has any pictures with the setup above please share. thank you in advance

I run 5mm spacers with my 305s, I'm not lowered though. Some using 10mm with 305s and lowered report rubbing, others do not.

Thanks for the reply. I want to avoid rubbing, im thinking i may not require spacers lowered on 305's for the rear but may require them for the front to poke them out a little.

I'm lowered and I have 10mm spacers all the way around with stock tire sizes. I think you'll want 10/12mm in the front and if you are running 305 in the rear, you might not need spacers. I'd recommend first getting the car lowered, waiting about a week to make sure the springs have settled and then measure the gap.

Thank you bro. Im thinking the same. Nothing in the back but either 10/12mm at front, however read a few horror stories around the 10mm spacers. Little off putting tbh

I'm on Dinan Adjustable springs. It's maybe a tad bit lower than H&r but looks pretty much the same

I'm on the same springs. i run 315 PS4s with 5mm spacers in the rear. no rubbing at all. honestly looks like i could run a 10mm spacer with those 315s without rubbing also.
