Spacers below 10mm do not have a centering. So basically they are no option then imho.... not with such a car.

But to each its own as they say 🙂

Not true. The turner motorsports spacers are hubcentric in all sizes.

https://www.turnermotorsport.com/BMW...-wheel-spacers

Also, hubcentric rings never bear any load. They are simply used to make it easier to align the wheel during mounting. Even OEM isn't thick enough to bear load of the vehicle. The weight of the vehicle is supported by the hub and wheel faces by friction created by the lug nuts.

I did Turner 7.5mm all around lowered on Eibach springs. The fronts could probably go 10mm to be more flush but I heard of people rubbing in the front on 10mm so I stayed with the 7.5mm... don't feel like dealing with rubbing issues as this is my daily.

I ended up going with 10mm/12mm spacers on the M2C. Been running them for a month at least and no issues now.

Turns out that wasn't the right sizing for me. I don't like my wheels tucked inside the fenders, I like them flush, so I sold those and bought 15's. That spacer width allowed the rims to fill the wheel arches just about perfectly. I could increase the fronts to 18's but at my ride height that would probably cause issues so I've decided to stay put at 15 on all four corners.

You can zoom in on these photos to examine the fitment:

(Note: The OG M2 has the same OEM wheel and tire dimensions as the M2C)






Suspensión specs? Rear rubs? Thanks

KW HAS + 4x 15mm spacers. No rear rub. Some front rub on large dips but no tire wear or fender damage.

If one went with 12F/10R or 15F/12R spacer combo (stock wheels/tires), seems stock bolts would need to replaced with longer bolts?

If so, do the longer bolts come with the spacers, or need to be purchased separately?

It depends what spacers you buy. Read the listing info on them.

More specifically, does anyone know if the Turner spacers require/come with bolts longer than stock?

I did look at the Turner offerings on their website, and according to my specific vehicle (M2C). Perhaps the detail I am after escaped me when reviewing the product description, but I found no mention of spacers being equipped with bolts.

Am I to assume the spacers do not require longer bolts, or that the bolts need to be purchased separately?

Thank you

They tell you in the listing that they are required and need to be purchased seperately...

$116 each? Wow. It says "Spacers", but I can't find where it says if there are 1 or 2 for that $116. And 10 wheel bolts for $4.95? What am I missing there?? Terrible website.

Huh?

The spacer quantity is for a set of 2 spacers, as pictured (1). The bolt quantity is telling you how many will be added to the cart when you press select (10)... also consistent with the picture. Both numbers and pictures mean, do, and show the exact same thing. I do not see any inconsistency at all.

Just looks confusing to me, much better ways to do it IMO.

For me? A picture of one spacer and a quantity drop-down, or something that obviously said spacers were sold in pairs. Once the spacer quantity was selected and the buy-button pressed a pop-up notification about requiring longer lug bolts, a picture of 1 lug bolt populated and a quantity drop-down.

I am running 10mm all around. Got the spacers from IND/ Future classic

https://ind-distribution.com/collect...r-kit-14mm-lug

I personally like how the spacers secures to the hub directly with a hub bolt. It is also hub centric and it comes with longer bolts
