You will need longer bolts--- and most spacer kits come with them.

KW HAS ....

Not sure if my spacers will work on the 850 as you run different size wheels (widths)

Yup. M850 has 8" Front, ET 26 and 9" Rear, ET 41

I went to a 9" Front, ET 32 and a 10.5" Rear, ET 45. It effectively pushed the fronts out by 7mm and the rears by 15mm. Doesn't look quite as dopey as OEM setup.

Ha, ha, ha. Good one, Dr. Threadjackeride. The reflectors are something I never think about, or even care about. And besides, Blue and Orange ARE complimentary colors. But, I get your point. So, I scrolled thru the Random Pic thread - some of those cars do look pretty good. Holy shitballs........now ya got me all self-conscious about them.

Therefore, when you are sending Ben money for my inserts, please add enough for these guys, too. And that's only going back about 10 pages

Ha ha. No worries. I knew you were jabbing me, just had to needle you back.

However, I did not infer no spacers was dopey. I said the OEM look was dopey. I merely posted the picture to show what the equivalent of 7mm front and 15mm rear spacers would look like compared to the OEM set-up on the M850.

For me, I wanted a wider wheel and with the proper offsets the rims got shoved out to where I wanted them. No need for spacers. If you're staying with OEM wheels, then obviously spacers would be needed to obtain the look up want.

Yeah, snareman was the easy one.

Cheers.

M850 Bolt Pattern

Does M850 have the same bolt pattern as 750 G12? I'm looking on getting an M850 GC and would like to use the current 12mm f/b spacers if they fit.

Wheel fitment wise, I think they are the same.
