Wheel spacer testing - 5mm, 10mm, 12mm, 15mm

ocN55 · 07-13-2015, 02:37 PM

Can someone confirm if a 15mm spacer fit in the front on stock suspension?

Looking to place my order today

OpenAir · 07-13-2015, 04:23 PM

I've been running 15mm rear and 12 mm front since day one with my car. I wouldn't push 15mm on the front as 12 is right there. I also choose Burger Motorsports as they don't have any hub issues:

I ordered 12mm all around from ECS. They will go on my car first week in August.

I have 12 in the front, 15 in the rear...check my link in my sig for the most recent pics. Its a perfect fitment in my opinion!

Do you notice any negative resuly with 12/15 spacer since its changing suspension geometry from square setup? Im debating if 12/12 would be better for handling department.

it looks good... I have also xdrive was thinking of going with 12/15 setup. but i may go with 15/15 like you. Which spacers did you get? BMS? Any vibration or any issue?

Taunto · 09-29-2016, 04:25 PM

went with BMS spacers as well. No vibrations or issues with them at all.
If you have 19 inch wheels do some research to see if 15mm will fit in the front since mine are 18in wheels.

You should be alright then.

I installed 12mm spacers from Burger front and rear. Had to remove the plastic dust cap on the rears but not the front. Super easy and no issues. Looks great but now I want to drop it about an inch F and R.

I doubt you're still looking, just bumped into this thread though.

I'm running 15mm all around on stock ride height and love the look. Definitely more aggressive coming down the road with the wider stance and black kidney grills, and it just looks "right" in the rear.

Do you have the staggered or square setup? Also, my friend has a white F30 and gets black specks on the rocker panels behind the tires. They said it's because the wheels are wider than the car. Has anyone experienced this with spacers on the F22? Thanks.

I just installed 15mm yesterday from Apex in NorCal. I went with the silver finish and changed out the lug bolt to the stud lug nut set up. Apex makes great quality products and are very helpful.
My only regret was not doing this sooner.
