Asking because I don't see it mentioned in this thread, but with 15/12 spacers, is everyone still using the stock lugs with no problems?

Spacer kits come with longer lugs.

Good deal. Had them on my old car but couldn’t remember since it’s been about 4 years since I last bought them.

You can also buy just the spacers if you are doing a stud conversion and the studs are long enough.

Hi everyone,

From all that I could read so far, it looks like 15F/12R or 15F/11R seem to be very popular choices.

Curious if those would still look good enough on a M5C (LCI) with the default RH. I do prefer a more aggressive stance but I'm wondering if pushing the wheels that far out without lowering the car would look strange.

Appreciate the advice!

Stock tire sizes
Lowered on H&R F90 M5 springs

15/12 looks really good, counselor!

I’m guessing they’re Future Classic.

What about spacers on stock suspension? Would that make any difference to what size spacers you should choose?

Debating between lowering my CS or not

Dredging up this thread….

F90 Comp and I’m about to book in to have spacers fitted. Initially thinking 15f/12r based on this thread.

Anybody done this on stock suspension? I’m mostly seeing lowered examples.

Would love to see images, specifically a side on view as well as angles.

Coming from an F80 that was lowered and spaced; here in London you don’t go far without speed bumps. Bit of a nightmare honestly, hence keeping suspension stock (for now!!!).

Appreciated 👍🏻

I have, with 12/15. The fit was perfect, until I put wider tires on the rear and it was rubbing a bit. I took the spacers off the rear and left the front on and worked perfectly.

Anyone with a M5 comp and stock suspension have pictures of 15f/11r or 5r spacers? Wanted to see the look before making the purchase

Maybe just buy wider wheels with an offset that moves them out and fit 10mm wider tires.

I went with 10mm front and back. Kinda wish I did 12 or 15 for the front. For anyone with wheel arches, they do rub a little with 10mm in the rear. Stock suspension.

Hey there.

No problem if I only get front spacers? I´d like to know due to transfer case can be a problem or not using only front spacers.

I was thinking to have 12/F.
