With the release of the new G87 M2, we wanted to reduce the amount of guess work and time looking at countless threads to see what spacer sizing is recommended, so we set out to create a comprehensive resource.

Spacers are similar to aftermarket wheels with regard to opinions; everyone has different preferences and tolerances. We prefer the more subtle look with zero-wheel poke - our favorite setup on the new G87 is similar to our G8X fitment: a 15mm front and 12mm rear spacer set.



Factory (OE Suspension /No Spacers)








Recommend Spacer Sizing
• Standard Fitment - 15mm Front / 12mm Rear
• Aggressive Fitment - 18mm Front / 15mm Rear

Bolt Patter and Thread Pitch / Sizing
• 5x112 bolt pattern
• M14x1.25

Future Classic 5x112 Wheel Spacers (Made in USA)
• Complete kit includes: two competition wheel spacers, ten extended length zinc plated lug bolts, four hub bolts, Copaslip copper anti-seize, and an anti-seize applicator brush
• CNC precision machined from 6061-T6 aerospace aluminum
• Black anodized finish for corrosion and wear resistance
• Provisions to secure spacer to hub for competition use
• Hubcentric design with chamfered edges
• Pocketed detailing for minimum mass

Recommended Fitment:

15mm Front and 12mm Rear












All Front and Rear Fitments:






5mm Front and Rear









12mm Front and Rear







15mm Front and Rear







18mm Front and Rear

You guys rock.

That’s amazing ! That was a lot of work to put this together. Thank you ! Is there a reason for the difference in front and rear spacer recommendation ? Is the front stock setup more inset than the rear stock setup ?

Anyway you can do the same with lowering springs ? What is the recommended drop ? Would the front be dropped more than the front to achieve symmetry ? It looks like the front wheel gap is more than the rear. The wheel gap is pretty atrocious right now, especially the front !

Thank you for doing this!

I decided on 12mm front and rear. I consider this flush, the rim to fender in front and rear are now nearly identical.

One thing I discovered though, and I have the PZeros - and I know you only tested the PS4S - with the 12mm spacer up front, backing up onto my driveway (which is slightly off camber)...if i have the wheel turned 50%+, the tires will catch those vents on the fender liner. It's actually cracked one of the vent louvers on my driver side.

I haven't done a side-by-side but I believe the PZeros might just be a hair wider in the tread width than the PS4S option. Hope this helps someone else.

That sucks. Have you decided what you are gonna do about it?

I'm not paying for those aftermarket liners just yet! Will see how this bothers me down the road. I will be adding camber plates which again might change the situation...hopefully for the better...but I alway say stock #1 if you don't want headaches!

Old post but wish this was done after lowered on KW HAS.

Once on a HAS it seems like 15 front and 18 rear is ideal. Could even do 18 front.

Feel like 12R is not enough.

Have we determined the sweet spot for not rubbing in front when wheel is cranked? Seems like stock height 15 or 12 front have potential to rub. But once lowered there is a bit more room. For example maybe M Perf HAS port installed at their 10mm drop allows for 15 f without the rub?

I don’t think 12/15F is going to rub either way. The G87 has more fender liner clearance than the G80/G82. Others with personal experience can chime in!

I’m by no means an expert but it seems a bit counterintuitive to me that a drop would not rub with spacers compared to stock height… if anything, a drop brings the tire closer to potential rub to fender liner. Am I missing something?

When you lower the car it will create more negative camber and tuck the tire into the wheel well a bit. Something that was flush at stock height will not look the same lowered.

I just ordered wheels that will be the equivalent of having 15F and 18R spacers. Once lowered it should be perfectly flush.

But is that assuming the wheels aren’t realigned to stock camber values?

Yes, but most times when you lower you will end up running more negative camber than before. You can align to near stock values but in my experience you will usually end up with a degree or two more after alignment regardless.

What a lot of people seem to be doing with G87 spacers right now is lining up their tire to be flush with the fender, but what you want (especially when lowered) is the lip of the wheel to be flush and the tire very slightly in. If you look at IND's pics above, 18mm rear with 1-2 more degrees of camber would be perfect. 18 in the front might be ideal as well but I'm going for 15 fitment on my wheels to be safe (19x9.5 +5)

Is that a massive wing on your F87?

Damn that is super flush!

Looking forward to seeing your 18r, 15f equivalent fitment. Please post pics and observations re fitment, rubbing on liner etc once you get them on. Thanks!

For sure, will be posting lots of content on here and IG. Unfortunately the wheels are about 9 weeks out

Yep my car just got lowered and can definitely do 18mm all around. The 15mm up front is fine..but could use a little bit more. Currently running 15f/12r but that'll change.

No front liner rub running 15mm? How far down is your HAS?

Lowering it got rid of the rubbing. So glad I didn’t do any cutting.

Up front I lowered it about 28mm.
