10mm spacers with stock wheels

McLaren720s · 03-03-2020, 08:25 PM

Has anyone tried 10mm spacers all around with the stock wheels? Would this look good to really flush the tires with the fenders? Any other recommendations?

I have Future Classic 10mm Spacers installed on M2C with stock suspension. I'll see if I can take some pictures today for you to reference. The rear has a little bit of poke from the rear fender arches, while the front wheels sit pretty flush.

10mm all the way around is very safe, many people have done this.

15s are where it's @

Yeah, that looks really sharp. What suspension are you on?

That does look quite tasty but since I'm not lowered I think 10mm will work better for me.

10mm future classic front and back. H&R springs. 437 wheels but same spec as 788.

Looks great! Considering the same setup.

Do you have any rubbing issues? Or the front splitter scraping on deep curb cuts?

It's not that bad, can measure it this weekend if you want?

Thanks, but no need to measure. I have the Lightweight front splitter installed on a stock setup and every now and then it scrapes when I'm leaving a parking lot that has a deep curb cut, so the main thing keeping me from the Eibach Springs / drop is even more scraping. That said, I got the splitter because it can handle abuse so I'm not sure what I'm afraid of.

Related side question: Is there a big difference in driving / steering / turning radius with the 10mm spacers and drop?

Ahh, ok.

I would say go for it, my butt dyno tells me that it feels more planted and better ride quality.
Better looks and drives better☺️

What Eibach springs are you running? When I go to their site they do not have anything for a M2?

Thanks, apparently my work computer loaded the site wrong.

At home it shows what you have. I have put the pro kit on a few cars and have always been happy with them.

When adding Spacers for BMW cars. You have to get new lugs correct? On my old Infiniti G37 IPL I used H&R and the spacers bolted up direct to the hub itself.

Also what brand is the best!

mr_lab_rat · 03-07-2020, 07:27 PM

Yes, it's safe and doesn't rub. I'm running 10 front, 7.5 rear but 12/10 would work as well.

bioman · 03-08-2020, 12:22 AM

I'm on 5/5, not lowered.

Tried 10/10, but the rear poked out too much for me.

I purchased these and am quite happy with the quality. In general, yes, the spacers should come with new longer bolts.

I got BMS 10mm all around, lowered pretty significantly with KW V3s and I’m getting pretty significant rubbing in the front. Going to either bring it up, or switch to 7.5mm.

I want that look on my BSM, but not looking to lower as I've got many low humps in my condo and area.

Would you (or anyone else) happen to have 15mm spacers on stock suspension? Wondering how it would look.
