wheel spacers

These arrived. Friday project before Saturday Cars and Coffee.

I actually watched this video which gives a good comparison.

I'm thinking of going for the recommended 15mm rear - 12mm front PSI kit as I don't have any plans of lowering the car soon.

The one variable left is alignment post spacers and lowering. Some recommend 12, some recommend 15. I think it all depends on alignment and how much drop you have. For PSI's needs, they ultimately ended up with 18 spacer to make their drop work because it was lowered substantially.

So much for my wheel spacer install - my jack has a circular puck and I don't have an adapter to fit the BMW rectangular jack point.

Maybe find a by-the-hour garage and borrow their lift for a bit?

I’m going with this setup too since I’m keeping the stock wheels and won’t lower it for now.

Has anyone actually weighed any of their spacers? I ordered BMS spacers, 13mm and 15mm. The 13mm weighs 1 pound and the 15mm weighs 1.2 pounds. Curious to know how much spacers like Future Classics and Macht Schnell spacers weigh in 12mm and 15mm since they have more aluminum cut out of them vs the Burger spacers.

I did some digging and found this chart comparing Future Classics to some competitors. I would think the Burgers are probably the same weight as the H&R spacers since they’re the same design.

I have two sets of brand new, in the box 12mm Future Classics for sale if anyone wants them. MSRP is $200 per set and I'm asking $250 for both or $125each.

Great deal. If you had 15mm I’d be in.

Might be worth posting this in the classified sections of the all the G series forums so you can get more eyeballs.

I don't like to adjust the factories chassis engineering and dynamics, such as scrub raidus, as much as others, so I went with +8mm all around. I also don't lower my car's as much as most (I'll drop the M2 20mm max), but I personally value handeling and driving dynamics over aesthetics.

Very nice! I’m also not going to drop. Is this 12F and 15R? Any rubbing at all? Pirelli or PS4?

goldfz8 · 08-04-2023, 01:59 AM

275 40 19 et 25 with 20mm spacer....

We recommend the same 15mm/12mm fitment, and have always run Macht Schnell.

17mm Front, 15mm Rear.

17mm in the front are you getting any rub with the wheel cranked while backing up or anything? How much of a drop?

billspreston · 08-15-2023, 03:56 PM

Can someone educate me on 10mm spacers? Are these safe for G87 – is there adequate depth & material for the hubcentric lip like the design attached here? I see a lot of recommendations for a 12 or 15 up front, but I'm soft and would like something just a bit more conservative.
