Spacers on the front and back? What size?

Soul_Glo · 06-10-2018, 11:42 AM

Asking on behalf of the new owner of my 435d X (F32).

Front and back or just back?
What size?

He is fitting the ACS lowering springs next week.

Thanks

Stop and check. It depends on your wheels and tyres. 10mm and 12mm May be more than enough.

I've got 10mm and 12mm on my 335dx. ACS Springs too.

I think it's enough

and sits well

Am I missing a trick here. I have an F31 M-Sport with the 19" 403 alloys. Other than for looks, what would be the purpose of adding spacers?

No. Purely for looks I think.

Gives the car a wider track... makes it more stable in a way as it has a wider foot print

Minor advantage. However, they are for allowing fitment of wheels with a different offset (generally, wider wheels).
