Spacers

drgmt · 06-24-2017, 07:53 PM

Could someone recommend a spacer setting for a 2016 M3 competition pack with 20inch 666 wheels that will maximise wheel bulge and minimise any associated issues. It will have stock suspension settings.

Would anyone suggest not putting them on based on previous experience.

Thanks in advance!

i have 5mm + 7.5mm turner set with matching bolts available for sale

the turner motorsport spacers have a built in hub ring for proper centering

this is how my car sat with them on stock suspension/tyres - i prefer to go as least aggressive as possible with spacers

Why are you removing them Domino? New wheels?

Also, what would you like for them? PM if necessary.

i replaced with 5 and 5 because the ps4s has a squarer shoulder and looked too close to rubbing in rear

I have ECS Tuning 15mm front / 12.5mm rear. They sit flush (perhaps 1mm poke if anything) and have no rubbing issues on stock suspension setup. I will be lowering soon but all the feedback from the guys in US are that its fine and won't rub.

Thanks mate.

Do you notice any adverse handling effects? I plan to take the car to Wakefield once a month for speed off the streets.

Thanks again

I haven't been on track with them fitted, but I have taken her out for some spirited drives in the hills and she feels as solid and similar in dynamics to stock. If anything she feels a bit more planted in the corners and steering is slightly heavier perhaps (but only a fraction).

Heavier steering? Yikes. Comfort is already pretty heavy.

I wouldn't be concerned. Its minimal (if any). Could just be my flat tyres from not checking tyre pressures after a month or so.
