Can someone please provide a direct link to a shop in Europe where I can order a set with accompanying lug bolts?

I was looking at Macht Schnell set, but here they don't list F87 as supported, and now I'm just confused on what to get and where to get it.

Thanks!

MS Spacers is supported on F87. I have them on my car. I am running 12/10.

Thx. I went with Bimmec 12/10 in the end. Got them from AutoID. Hopefully those will work out alright.

Can confirm the Bimmec 12mm/10mm spacers with accompanying bolts fit perfectly, no shaking or anything like that.

Macht Schnell spacers definitely fit F87 platform, we install them all the time.

Weird situation here - I just installed 12 front/10 rear motorsport hardware spacers on my car and getting very bad rubbing on the fenders in the front. I'm on 255/275 tires with 437M wheels. No camber plates and I'm on KW HAS lowered to 602mm front and 605mm rear. Any idea why they're rubbing or if something is wrong? Or should I just go down to a 10mm and call it a day?

There are a few things to factor in, what brand tires, it's TW(aka sidewall thickness), what profile you are running, 30, 35, etc. and also how low you are.

Based off your photos it looks like you stayed with 35. This is probably why you are rubbing, given that with 255/275 + spacers puts you at 262/285.

Without any camber, it's not too surprising you are rubbing.

From what I've researched, people who run 12/10 are running OEM size tires, 245/265 on 35. which would put them at 255/275 by 35. With this, you can get away with lowering the car without having too many issues rubbing even on stock camber (I run this setup dropped 595/600 without any camber plates and have minimal front rubbing).

People who run even more aggressive fitment (265/285) run on 30 tires, not 35. People are able to fit this with little to no rubbing.

Good luck!

I’m on stock wheels (even tires) and contemplating putting some spacers. I want to have the hub centering flange so I guess 10mm is my min thickness. The car’s on Bilstein and lowered to just 607F / 610R last I checked.

I don’t want to mess with trying to max its position, just to make it visually nicer and without rubbing throughout the suspension travel and while turning. What do you guys think?

Many apparently forget that the attachment of the bumper to the fender takes up a fair amount of space on the inside of the fender.

So that means that a too low ET or a milder ET with wider tyres will cause rubbering on that connection when bouncing in, depending also on any lowering used.

Partially grinding off that junction may bring some relief but that is also limited.
