Old thread I know, I’m lowered on KW V3s, 10mm all around and experiencing rubbing in front on any dips.

Thinking about either switching to 7.5mm or bringing my car up a slight bit. Don’t want to roll the fenders. I’ll take some pics in the morning though, the car looks beautiful, sadly it won’t work though.

You think you could have gone with 10mm around?

Brought it up half an inch and still rub a little bit but now it’s only at high speeds on dips. I can deal with it while I wait for my new wheels.

The issue isn't with the fenders most likely, it's with the plastic fender liner in the wheel well, specifically the area in front of and towards the outside of the tires. If so then there's no need to change spacers or ride height and definitely no need to touch the fenders. If you look closely you'll see some marks where the tires are making contact. You just get the area in question hot with a heat gun, push it forward a bit with something and hold it for a little and then pour some cold water on it so it sets in its new position. Problem solved.

honestly, those 5mm spacer cause rubbing against the front fender liners after i got lowered with my M Performance coilovers. i ended up removing the spacers completely. keep in mind, i was running 255 up front.

Thank you for your feedback. I will not be ordering spacers.

Old thread sorry, but I have an M2 comp. 7.5mm all around would be okay on stock tires, suspension and wheels? I have 763M wheels.

[M2_MEDUSA]

Back with an update. I fit 12mm front and 10mm rear on stock 763m wheels. No rub whatsoever on hard driving. Stock suspension.

[FrozenGT]

MPERFORMANCE Suspension with Future Classic 10mm spacers All Around- stock tires. If you are on springs you will not have any adjustability. I would only buy Future Classic spacers buy two sets and do some testing.

Any pics?

Burger Motorsports won my business for this very reason. I am not super hung up on price, but BMS's spacers are significantly cheaper & include the bolts. BMS has adequate descriptions of their kits so you know exactly what you're getting, an installation guide you can check out, and you get a nice wheel hanger for free from BMS to boot.

I just tried 10mm BMS spacers on the rear with stock wheels. The wheel & tire poked outside the fender. Me no likey. (First pic)

I originally bought 12mm for the front, but since I opened & installed the 10mm I used them on the front & they're perfect! (second pic) It's juuuusssst shy of the fender.

My car is lowered by about a 1/2" on fortune auto full coilover kit. No rub issues so far. But only just installed the spacers. I'll be returning the 12mm's. You gotta like poke to like 12mm on the rear.

I also took the time to polish the wheel hubs removing the rust & oxidation. All shiny & nice-like. Looks really good and was weirdly satisfying to do the work.

Looking sick! Good to see another black M2C in the Loudoun area!

My car is stock and when I put the 12mm front and back I get this grinding noise ONLY when I back up with the steering wheel turned all the way to the left. The noise is coming from the front.

I have since removed the spacers and no more noise.

Anyone has any ideas as to why?

Rubbing in fender liner, do what Andrew says.

[M2_MEDUSA]

Currently running 265/30 12mm spacer upfront no rub, no camber. Its a hair close tho.

[M2_MEDUSA]

Stock wheels, stock camber on eibach springs
