12mm spacers all around finally installed

Finally got the supreme power 12mm spacers installed at the front and rear on the stock 20” wheels.
Car looks more aggressive and the wheels line up much better with the fenders.
You can do 10mm at rear too for a less aggressive setup but I’m liking the 12mm look all around.
I will say that it accentuates the wheel gap or maybe I’m noticing it more!

Pics below but let me know if I’m missing angles you want to see. Sorry for the very dirty car but it’s been rainy!

Garage List
It's crazy how 20" wheels looks small on this car. Probably because M3/M4 have 20" wheels also.

I don't think it accentuates the gap. I too would like some additional pics from side, a little further away too. Looks great tho!

Those spacers are a simple and effective solution to improve the stance. Very nice.

Did they require longer bolts?

Car looks good!

Do spacers have any effect on vehicle geometry, handling or performance?

Yeah they required longer bolts but they fit perfectly and are very well engineered.
Car looks more aggressive and handling ride seem pretty much the same.

I’ve installed the same spacers but ran a 15mm front, and 12mm rear. I think it’s perfect fitment! Really happy with this setup. I wouldn’t run anything less than a 12mm on the rear.

Looks great. Thanks for the pictures.

I think I read that the bolt pattern on the F90 is different than the F10, can you comment? Trying to figure out if I can transfer the spacers from my F10. Thanks!

Yes it is very different. Its now the same bolt patterns as the MB cars. Not sure the specs but I know the F10 spacers will not work

No steering wheel vibration? I've had really bad luck with using spacers.

Personally I would not do this unless I got some PPF behind the wheels.
Being awd, you will now get more rock chips on the fenders/door.

Eh, who cares? Lease it and dump it. And just have it detailed occasionally. Going to be a DD anyway, I don't mind a few rock chips.
