Photo request, spacers

JRF30 · 02-20-2019, 12:00 AM

I'm not 100% I want to lower my car yet, I was thinking just to get spacers. However I was to lower it, id get it all fitted together

Please show me photos of your f30s non x drives with spacers 12/15mm without being lowered.

Thanks

Is this a square or staggered wheel set up?

12mm all round.
I've got 15mm rear and 12 front. (Seems to be one of the most popular options)

Once seen they cannot be unseen. Since fitting mine I notice how other cars have arches hanging over sunken wheels.

Nice one, I know what I need to do now

silly question but is it safe to use spaces and does it impact the handling

Yes but you must buy quality ones and use the correct longer lug nuts and torque them correctly.

You're widening the track front and rear so yes it will effect handling to some extent, some people say you should have a geo with them others argue you don't need to, I never did and didn't suffer from any tyre wear issues, you will throw up more stones and stuff onto the body work or at least increase the chance.
