Excellent! When will you get them in? Let us know as soon as you do...

M2GB · 11-30-2016, 03:38 AM

I will do - my car wont be here until January

I just ordered 10mm all around. I will install them when I install my H&R springs. Probably in the springtime.

I'll be doing eibachs with 10mm all around in springtime. Hopefully I'll see a pic of this setup before then...

I had H&R spacers on previous car...Very happy with them.

Why 10mm at the front and not 12?

Haha do it! Your car will change. Just subtle enough to look stock but aggressive enough that it changes the whole car.

I didn't realize how sunk the wheels were until I did this

Do the longer studs include a locking/security stud?

It did not come with the spacers. I'm sure you could fine one wth a key at the length.

Rear Axel
10 mm H&R spacers with centre hub.

Not much but disturbing
5 mm would be perfect but these have no centre hub = no go for me.

Front Axel
Have not tried but based on how the tire is situated, 10 mm could be OK

My M2
Rear Axel
My H&R spacers are under modification by a professional shop to be 6 mm with centre hub.
Should be just perfect

Front Axel
Have 10 mm H&R spacers but will try within a couple of weeks.

Yes, chamber has importance but my car has been recently aligned accordingly to factory specs, so it should be OK

Cheers

I'd like to get your impression of the car with 6mm rear spacers. Was it enough? Would 7 or 8 be better matched to 10 in front? Would you please upload pics? thanks!

Sure!
I will receive my modified spacers tomorrow and then install during the Christmas days.
I did try the 10 mm up on the front axel.
Did not like it..
I will also try out the 6 mm on front.
Am I picky...yes I am

Will make pictures accordingly.
Cheers

ex12psi · 12-19-2016, 08:51 PM

I have 12mm up front and it could use more. 15mm would be perfect. This is with coils and -3 camber up front

Rear I tried 12mm and it was hideous. Stuck out way too much. No spacers in the rear is just right. 5mm if u really want to but not hub centric so not worth it.

12 or 15 front
0 rear
Perfect

Has anyone experienced any vibration?! Or is this set up vibration free??

Burger tuning spacers look legit. It seems like they are established for the BMW brand.

Turner tuning looks legit too. They seem to have been around the longest and claim to be the best.

I just saw this thread, but guys, do yourself a favor and steer clear from 10mm spacers because they won't "properly" fit our m2. The hub centric lip (I think that's what it's called) itself is slightly longer than 10mm, which means your 10mm spacer will not sit flat against the brake rotor. 15mm should be fine, but definitely not 10mm.

My 10's fit fine all the way around. Torqued several times now with no issues to report. Well seated.

Have you removed them? When you do, take a look of the inside of the ring. My front wheels, yes, both, came loose when I thought they were properly torqued. I'm leaving off some details here, let's just say I drove pretty hard

, and both wheels came loose after a short drive. When the spacers were removed, there were bite marks on the inside of both spacers. I believe the bite marks came from the hi centric rings biting into the spacers when torqued. I could be wrong, but I feel obligated to put this information out there.

Do your 10m spacers include the hubcentric "lip" for the wheel to sit on?
