Spacer Poll
Hi all,
Looking to get the H&R springs, keep the stock wheels and get some spacers. Taking a poll as to what size spacers? 10mm all around 7.5mm all around Staggered Let me know what everyone thinks is the best fitment. |

7.5 in the front was perfect for me. When I had my stock rears, 10 seemed to offer the best stance.

I'm in the same boat; getting my H&R's installed next Friday; I am going to wait a bit for them to settle. Then get an alignment. At that time I will install spacers (I think). Hopefully by then they'll be some more input from other forums members....

The front is perfect, a 10mm in the rear would be just right. |

That's great info guys thanks. I know there's another M2 on here with 10mm all around. Send pics if you can. It would be great to compare stances.
Thanks. |

Turner Motorsports has a spacer "test" kit you can borrow for $20. They'll send you a variety of spacer widths. However, they are not their actual spacers, and when I called them they did not recommend me driving up and down my driveway (that is one of my concerns with a lowered car and pushed out wheels). So I guess this kit would help determine what aesthetic you are going for but won't help much in determining clearance/rubbing issues.

I have 12mm & 15mm spacers I took off my X3. I'm thinking of putting the 12mm front but not sure whether the 15mm will fit on rear of my stock M2. Anyone know?

I tried out the 10 mm spacers on the rear and in my opinion it was slightly too much.
The tire was slightly sticking out and for me this is a no go. The rear is quite flush as it is and 5 mm spacers could be OK. My thoughts on this Cheers |
