wow, I can see the difference. IMO, it's not worth the fender damage.

I just washed my car again, 2 months post-delivery. I found 1 major rear fender damage caused by gravel, IMO, due to the staggered setup. The rear spacers will just wreck havoc on your bumper. Keep an eye out every few weeks, you'll see what I'm talking about.

I've never had good luck with spacers, i always feel a vibration in the steering wheel the faster I go every time I have had them installed on the fronts. The rears are usually ok but now that I'm running 315's I don't need spacers.

What Brand did you had ?
I think They Had to be Hub Centric , otherwise it will Cause vibration .
I did 140-150 km/h ( About 100 mile/h ) speed test drive on highway and it was okay , No shaking or Any Vibration .
I Hope It stay's Like That 😁

when facing the wheel, the bumper at the 2:00 to 5:00 position will get hit hard by gravel.

Look into a clear bra just for that section (or the entire rear bumper.)

I've always used high quality spacers that are hubcentric, Macht Schnell or BMS. The issue with the M6 Gran Coupe, you cannot fit anything less than 15mm on the fronts as the hubs stick out that far and 15mm was too much for me on the fronts so I put 12mm on the rears but then took them off once i installed 315's on the rear.

Nice! Looks great.

Would you happen to have a side shot showing the full car in profile or 3/4 angle? Like, not so up close, but showing the whole car instead?

Sorry, I know a lot of folks have asked for pics already, but 1. it looks killer, so we all appreciate it, and 2. I'm contemplating spacers myself, but want to see how it looks with the stock suspension (I assume I'm not the only one).

Thanks!

I’m running. Mach Schnell 12mm front and 10mm rear. I’ve found the key to avoiding vibration is to fully torque the bolts whilst the car is still jacked up.

Road rash is an issue on this car even without spacers. I’m looking into a possible for that based on the design of a car I had a few years back. I’ll keep you all posted!

Beautiful. I did the same on mine from Turner. Only problem is I have to take off the rears if I want to run 305s on my next tires.

2 weeks ago I was testing my car with gps speed box , I did a 100-200 km/h and 100-300 km/h run test and reached 315 km\h without any shaking or vibration issue .
And believe me 315 km/h is very fast ? If there was Any vibration I'd notice !!!

I personally prefer no spacers at stock height because it makes it look too high due to less shadow on the tyres, but the opposite for lowered cars.
