Wheel Spacers

I would like to install some wheel spacers on my M850i vert. Has anyone done it yet, and if so, what size did you use. Pictures would be great.

We will be trying a couple different sizes of Future Classic spacers on an M8 this week to come up with some concrete size recommendations for this chassis—stay tuned!

Don't the M8 wheels have different offsets and widths than the 850's? If so, then please do it for both.

Great, looking forward to seeing them on the M850xi as well. Especially on the rear wheels.

I believe the m8 and 850 do have different offsets. I am running 11/11 on my m8. Rear is perfect. Front max would be a 15

Are you happy how this looks without lowering? I was thinking of going the 15f/12r route and then hope for K&W has to come out.

This should look great lowered. Am just concerned that it’s odd looking stock height.

We found 12mm front and 5mm rear to be the best fit for stock ride height on the M8.



More detailed install photos and stock comparison photos coming soon!

Have yet to test sizing on the 840i and M850i but if there is anyone local that would like to swing by for a test fitment give us a shout

I am happy with the current stance not lowered. The rear does poke a little but I like the stance. The front still sits in

I use the future classic 12mm on the front and 18mm on the rear with the stock 728m wheels. You could do 15mm rear as well. Here's a few pics. They also work well with the stock 19" winters
