spacers fitted

15mm spacers fitted on the rear this morning from CM wheels. Subtle but much needed I think.



Apologies for the huge pics as don't know the bbcode on how to resize.

Well made and feel premium. Not really done any miles yet as fitted them a couple days before I went on holiday for 2 weeks but I do 300 miles a week so will post an update in a week or so.

Do you know if 15mm is max spacers that can be used or can 20mm be used without rubbing? Also does 15mm work on front tires as well?

I was going to do 12 front and 15 rear as a lot of people recommended but after I saw a video of a guy who got 15 all round I ended up doing that. I haven't fitted them as her but will let you know how it gets on

15mm all round is possible without any rubbing. Anything bigger and I would think you would have issues, especially the front tyres. Might be some guys here who have 18mm/20mm though.

Mine is a 650i convertible (F12). I've had it for about a year and have been doing a lot of DIY mods, but just recently joined up on the forum.

You use 15mm spacer. OEM bolt length +15mm. M14x1,25 10.9 with cone seat. Min. Screw depth 9 turns of threat. Mounting torque (120Nm). I intend to go in front 15mm and rear 20mm.
