Looks great! Have any more pics? Also, mind sharing your mod list?

Trying to decide between 10 and 12mm spacers on the rear of my M Sport. Anyone have photos of theirs to help me choose?

A couple of my car to keep on topic;

Sorry I'm too tired to post pics but I've done both and 12 is better as long as you don't rub. You can see in older pics on my Instagram, I had 12mm until about a year ago. Then I got new tires and they were rubbing so I went down to 10 and rolled fenders a couple mm. Currently I have no spacers though.

What size were your wheels/Tyres?

I’m not on Instagram sadly.

You don't need to have Instagram to view pics. Click on the link in my signature.

Tires are front: 225/40R18 and rear: 255/35R18.

Lyons · 12-27-2017, 01:16 PM

Cheers. Can’t see the signature on my phone, it will have a look when back to work next week.

Have you any on the front too?

No. Never had them on the fronts. I do need them. At least 5mm would be nice in the front.

I have the 19” 313s w/ 235/40 front & 265/35 rear. (Got tired of straighting/ buying new rims). I get a little rub on big dips bottoming out the rear suspension and turning the front wheels while backing up. In retrospect, I think 235/35 & 265/30 might be a good compromise. I’d post pics but the car is 2500 mi away right now.

Lotus99 · 01-02-2018, 11:59 AM

I've put on 12mm spacers in the rear. I'm running the stock size 255/35/18 in the back AND I'm lowered on KW V2's, and I only rub on big dips when there are passengers in the car. Fine otherwise. And I didn't have to roll the fenders.

The tires are PSS's also, which are known to run larger than other brands. My previous 255's didn't rub.

Went with 12mm bimecc but they rubbed on big dips. Anyone have 10mm on the rear?

I did. 10 didn't rub but also didn't look as good as 12s.

Still look better than no spacers at all though!

Did yours run with the 10mm spacers before you got the arches rolled?

Mikes 335is · 01-09-2018, 09:32 PM

Fresh wash

No, I actually put on the 10s right after I rolled the fenders because I wanted the running to stop for sure. The fender rolling was very very minor since I did it myself.

Lyons · 01-10-2018, 01:48 AM

I’d love to be 100% certain that it won’t rub with the 10mm before taking the plunge

I was able to fit BMS 15mm spacers recently on my rears with the same 189 wheels just fine. I have no rubbing whatsoever. Keep in mind that our suspensions are most likely at different wear levels and it can affect the geometry of it.

Here is a helpful link to a guide that can help you measure out what size spacers you need.

Cheers. I ended up ordering 10mm Eibach ones yesterday though!

Is yours an M Sport?
