Turner Motorsports Hub Extender spacers 7.5/10mm
So….
I tend to not to prefer using spacers & use proper offset wheels on my cars but since I kind of fancy the stock wheels on the M2 for some odd ball reason I decided to give them a try again. So I did measurements and decided on 6mm rear and 10mm front that would bring the "wheel" In line with the fender lip…… not the tire to fender lip but the wheel. I do not want "wheel" poke. Turner motorsports are the only ones that offer a 7.5… the closest I can get to 6 unless I go down to 5mm so I went to their website and when I seen their new design of "extended hub" spacers my decision made. They arrived and look better in person. I know spacers are squeezed between your wheels and not seen but these things are a machining work of art. The machine work is extensive and finish is great. One look and obviously they have a lot of work and thought into the design…..too bad they are not seen. I love the semi closed hub cap and the slots that keep it locked with the hub is just an awesome touch. There is also a lot of engraving in them with name, P/N and size....very nice touch. They went on like butter and upon the first test drive….not a hint of vibration. That has never happened for me in the past. I have always had to monkey around with them to find a sweet spot. If you need spacers, these are the ones to have on our M2's period. Shoot Ben G an email at bgannett@turnermotorsport.com and let him know you seen my post and he will try to work on the pricing. Enjoy the pics......oh and they are beagle approved |

Great post and photos. My car just got out of production yesterday so hopefully it will be here in 4 weeks. I am anxious to make purchases so you have shed some light on the spacer question. Your car looks good. Has it been lowered? Or do you think the spacers were enough to give it the stance you are looking for?

I am on H&R springs, .8 front and .6 rear. never got the advertised rear drop amount so there is light rake. Also alignment numbers were put back to stock after the springs settled. Car feels great on the H&R's
Shoot Ben a email |

Sweet..... I didn't want 10mm in the back due to the wheel/tire poke being on springs and doing very hard drives in the mans........ want to avoid tire to fender contact

Another fan of the turner motorsport spacers, I originally went 7.5mm front and 5mm rear which sat nice then tried 10mm front and moved the 7.5mm to the rear which is about the limit I would go to if you don’t want poke.

Exactly, being lowered and later if i go up a width size on tire to what is on the F80/F82 then the tires should be just at rim lip and not stick out. Being slightly lowered should be safe. Now the wheels fill the wells better

Very nice, car looks good.
Also to anyone considering some spacers, they actually have a Wheel Spacer Test Fitment Kit that you can rent and return for $20 https://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-3...nt-kit/?pdk=AQ Much better to see it for yourself than to just buy a size based on photos or word of mouth. |
