Hmm. Wonder if my 12mm spacers will rub at stock height (Michelins).
That would suck. I’d have to trim. Not going to drop big $ on new liners and I’ve gotta have the spacers.

Before I upgraded to forged wheels I had conservative spacers at 12mm all around with MP HAS all the way down. 0 rub on the liner fins with the oem ps4s. Will be using the r44 fender clearance kit to replace the fins though so can switch to 285s in front and still avoid rubbing.

My M2 is on Yokohama Advan Sport V107s (OEM tire) and stock suspension. Contact seems to occur with wheels turned somewhere within ~20 to 45 degree range (IDK). Horrible sound produced by contact with the louvers, which increasingly protrude just enough to catch the tire as it's pushed out at least 15mm (12mm also a likely no-go—which I believe some others experienced). Cutting into the louvers just not worth it for spacers (and can't justify the $800+ for wheel well liners designed to accommodate them).

The r44 kit for enhanced clearance to replace the fins is only around $200 or so just FYI. I'm going that route so I can swap my 275s for 285s and still not rub.

After seeing an install vid, I'm think I'm going to pass. I can certainly see others wanting to put this kind of effort (and expense) into getting the stance they prefer--just not for me.

I did find the R44 Enhanced Clearance Kit itself to be affordable; however, that adds another 2 bills to my spacer costs. Going with the kit "feels" like a sunk cost I prefer not to sink with.

In any case, glad there's an option as my spacers are up for sale (free shipping) here.
