What are those plastic inserts above the rear tire? Looks like a rock chip guard or something?

Can someone advise if new Lug Bolts are needed when using the 10mm/15mm setup?

Thanks - JD

Yes - you need longer lug bolts.

Nick - Any chance you could post a link to the spacers and lug bolts you are running?

Hello. I'm joining the spacer discussion late. People on this thread said you can only put a 3MM or 10MM+ on the rear? Is this correct? I see that Turner sells 5MM and up. For me, 10MM in the rear (stock comp springs) sticks out too far. I'd like to do 12 Front - 5 Rear. I appreciate all help and guidance.

I just noticed they’re selling 5mm spacers too. Great question!

I have H&R 11mm spacers on the rear and 15mm spacers up front. They've been great. No issues with stability, etc. I've been up to 140 mph with them on and no issues.

I think his point is that 10+mm spacers in the rear are slightly too aggressive for him (which I'm in the same camp). If there was a spacer slightly smaller -- which apparently there may be a 5mm spacer -- would it actually fit the m5? Turner and IND have a 5mm spacer now which would be perfect for the rear if someone can verify it fits the hub.

This is Quickburn7 new F90 M5 Comp that I just installed with 11mm all around.



H&R do have 3mm, but not listed under F90 M5 somehow.
I don't have data on how tall is the hub lip, I never measured it.
But, H&R data is pretty accurate and there will be a reason why they don't list 3mm or even make 5mm for F90.

Probably the pic angle? The rears look fine, but the front looks odd.

Picture angle.

In person, you probably want to go a bit more on the front. Like 13mm.

But you are lowered.

Lowered, the perfect setup, supposed to be 18mm/12mm.

Once lowered, it still have a little more room on the front.

Thanks! This bluestone with 11mm spacers is the stock comp suspension, not lowered? If so, after seeing the other pic angles it looks pretty good.

Stock Comp height, not lowered at all.

I'm trying out a new setup soon. I currently have 10mm front, nothing in the rear. Going with the 12mm front, 5mm rear to see what that does. I've always thought the rear needs just a little something but the 10mm was too much for my taste.
