Gentlemen is a stretch but, hey, I'll take it.

Did you find out from Ben what he installed spacer-wise?

Do you need new lugs on 11mm?

On any spacer more than 3mm, you would need new lug bolts.

Just got my m8 GC. They gave me pirellli's. Booooo !!! Traded from an F96 x6.

I'm leaning at the PS4 285/295 tires size up from stock. Says these are 10mm wider and 7mm taller than the stock tires. If I want to do so spacers and use Ben's recommended 12 front and 5 rear, won't that be way to wide. I'm on the fence about lowering. I'm in Charlotte. Roads aren't like Orange County CA. They suck here.

I’m running pretty much the same setup as everyone else on M8, 18mm front and 12mm rear with stock tyres… I’m planning to switch to 285/295 soon and keep the spacers
